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.

I didn't care too much for ballet, because you had to be more disciplined, and you sort of looked like everyone else. It required a certain kind of conformity that I didn't feel like I wanted to do.

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.

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

That the work involved, the willingness to take chances, the commitment, the opportunity to get on stage and make people happy, was more important than becoming famous, or even what I was dancing.

I didn't have any doubts about my choice of career, but I had constant doubts about my ability, yes.
