To me, dance is so ethereal and elusive, so much of an illusion. After a performance, that's it. With vocals and music, you have good recordings.

But anyone who's done a musical knows; whether you're dancing or not, physically it's the most difficult thing you can do.

The one thing I've always demanded of the records I've made is that they be danceable.

I always wanted to make a pop record. I'm a dancer myself, so I want to make something that people listen to and just want to dance to.

The world is full of ways for people to dance. Concert dance doesn't get its due.

My records are borderline dance records. They've got a real electro-rock heart and soul, and the vibe of the sentiment is pop, but there's a lot of people that were like, 'This is a dance record.'

I was in a competing company and have been dancing since I was four - ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop - so it's a huge part of my life and my music.

My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

Musicians were always coming and going in our house. My parents didn't play much, but they were forever arranging these parties for artists. As a result, they didn't have to play that many records.
