Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
I could have been a dancer. I just never got my shot at it.
I always wanted to devote a certain part of my life to dance - my true being is to be a dancer.
People misconstrue when I say I was a dancer. I was not classically trained. I was a street dancer, and I got to do what I did in the nightclubs of New York City.
