You have to be a little crazy to be a dancer.

As a dancer, you're told not to go into it for the money.

But you do have to start young as a dancer if you're going to achieve the physical skills necessary.

A dancer's life is hard - it is so physically demanding, and at any moment, you could have an injury that could end your career.

I heard a lot in school, 'You've got a really great talent, but there's no way you're going to be a dancer with that body.'

I could have been a dancer. I just never got my shot at it.

I don't think I'm a good dancer.

I didn't want to be a dancer. I just did it to work my way through college. But I was always an athlete and gymnast, so it came naturally.

I never wanted to be a dancer. I was too big, I was too slow. I remember not liking it. Later on, when I came to the United States, I realized I had a skill, and when you come to this country, you realize if you have a skill and a determination, you can do anything.

A dancer's career is short - you just keep going until your legs pack up.
