I'm thought of as a cool, unemotional dancer, but inside I'm not.

There is pain and sacrifice in everyone's world. That's why, when I was dancing, I had no pain.

I think especially in a world where you have so little say about what goes on in your life, or in the politics of the world around you, it is wonderful to go into that studio, and tell yourself what to do.

Eating a healthy diet is not just about eating a few special foods. There's a bigger picture. You need to practice moderation, eat a variety of foods, and get enough physical activity.

Once I started dancing, I was not the spoiled brat or the rebellious child that I was as a child.

After I stopped dancing, I was unable to listen to beautiful music.

Do not brood. It makes the moment you are living in unavailable for learning and life.
