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

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.

Good theater should always send people away feeling changed.

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

I loved tests because it was another form of competing, a healthy competition.

Once I started dancing, I was not the spoiled brat or the rebellious child that I was as a child.

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