I could work out a lot of my emotions by going to class and dancing.

I had a wonderful childhood, coming from Cincinnati, and I think that it was great going into the life that I was going to have, where you have to start young as a dancer.

I think it was important that I learned to love to dance eventually for its own sake, as opposed to wanting to be a ballerina.

When you get on stage, you can be anything. You are removed from reality in a way, the real world.

But what was my motivation was music, and the fact that I love to move around. I'm always moving around.

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.

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