You're never more of an individual than when you're a happy team player.

I liked to read but, being a dancer, I didn't have a lot of time to read.

Even though I am a professional, and I know what the steps are, I don't quite know how I'm going to do them, because I haven't lived that moment yet. I always feel very insecure and I get very excited.

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.

Of course, in the art class, I was the model.

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.

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