When you are on stage, you don't see faces. The lights are in your eyes and you see just this black void out in front of you. And yet you know there is life out there, and you have to get your message across.

I learned to love dance for its own sake.

As soon as I hear music, something in me starts to vibrate.

When you are on stage in front of an audience, you want to engage the entire crowd. If a thousand people are in the theater, you need to dance a thousand different ways, not one-thousandth of a way.

I was very much of a tomboy.

So dancing was not something I had a great desire to do.

The body can do amazing things in a situation when it is really called for.
