It's ungrateful to be wishing you were doing something else at the moment you are living. You haven't lived in the moment that you are really living, you are wishing you were somewhere else.

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

You don't learn from a situation where you do something well. You enjoy it and you give yourself credit, but you don't really learn from that. You learn from trial and error, trial and error, all the time.

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.

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

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.

I was very much of a tomboy.
