You have to be a little crazy to be a dancer.
It was not until I had graduated from college that I made a professional commitment to it. Frankly, I didn't think it wise. I was my own interior parental force, and it's very difficult to justify a profession as a dancer.

I don't think I'm a good dancer.
If I didn't believe in myself as a dancer, I wouldn't choreograph.
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.'
