I'm always very nervous about the word 'dancer' next to my name because anyone who's really trained in dance will go, 'This guy's fudging so badly.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd say the only time I ever get nervous is around great ballet dancers or people I really admire.
People often say to me, 'I don't know anything about dance.' I say, 'Stop. You got up this morning, and you're walking. You are an expert.'
I wouldn't call myself a dancer. I would never even dance in a club - I can't move my feet! I'm terribly shy about moving. I feel comfortable in my body, but dancing is like learning another language.
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.
I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.
I used to get made fun of a lot for being a male dancer, especially growing up in Boston. Kids are terrible, they don't realize how heavy words can be.
I don't think I'm a good dancer.
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'm not a good dancer, but I try. I don't really have the moves.
I always considered myself a dancer before anything else.
