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

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'm more of a freestyle dancer. I like to do my own thing.

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 was a professional dancer before I was an actor.

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 always considered myself a dancer before anything else.

I never lost a freestyle race. Never. Not even in the YMCA.

I was a dancer first, which made me realize how much I loved performing.
