The thing that helped me come to terms with performing was an anxiety, a desperation for acceptance. There was never enough positive motivation in my life.

I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. Performers give, and giving is so important. It can heal. That is my experience, anyway.

I've always been a performer. That's just what I know.

There's that saying: 'God gave you talent, and if you don't use it He'll take it away from you.' And I always said, 'I don't want God to come down and take my talents away.' So, by using all these talents and being successful in all of them, I've always got something to fall back on.

I'm a performer. I've tried everything there is.

And at the same time, you are of course a performer, but it's very important that you understand that your role as a performer is to get the best performance from those wonderful colleagues that you have the chance to work with.

I guess you could say it's always been my destiny to be a performer.

Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.

Not only am I constantly seeking better performance but also to be a better person, to be respected.
