From an early age, I was infatuated with music. I always loved it and was always dancing or playing something.

I really fell in love with dance. By the time I was seven, I had dance class six times a week. I was obsessed.

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

It wasn't until I was about 17 or 18 years old that I got into music.

Since I was a child, I always loved music that made me want to dance. As a teenager, I used to dance the night away to electronic music.

I have this romanticized idea of dance music in the '90s because, obviously, I was way too young to be a part of it. So I have this rose-tinted idea of it. I have this idea of it being a very special time. But I still don't know that much - I can never remember any names of seminal artists.

Nineties hip-hop was a big influence for me; it still is. I love '90s everything. And it's when I was born, too. I'm a '90s kid for sure.

I haven't danced since 1973; I'm too old.

In 1962 I was 17, so I was definitely watching the dance shows on television.

Part of the reason I fell in love with dance so early was because of people like Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, and Britney Spears. When they would dance onstage and in their videos, that was huge for me. I lived for that.
