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.

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.

And I just thought, this is what I want to be. And I knew that dancing would be my chosen profession.

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

Dancers are a great breed of people. And they really want to dance so you don't have to beg them to work. However, dancers sometimes build walls around themselves because they are presenting themselves all the time: dancing is very much a confession.

I was very happy that I was as normal as possible before I went into serious dance.

I liked tap, because I liked hearing the results of my movements.
