I wanted to be Gene Kelly. Well really, I just wanted to dance with Cyd Charisse.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Gene Kelly was one of the greatest dancers of all time and a taskmaster. He sought from you the absolute best - and he got it.
Patrick Swayze reminded me a lot of Gene Kelly. Patrick had that Everyman quality. Gene made dancing sort of an accessible idea for the regular guy out there.
Growing up, I thought I was going to be Madonna. I wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to dance and sing.
I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.
Gene Kelly was hard on me, but I think he had to be.
I really wanted to be a dancer, actually. Michael Jackson inspired me a lot.
Music was always part of my life - my mother says I came out singing. I wanted to be Gene Kelly - or Judy Garland.
I wanted to be a ballerina. I changed my mind.
From when I can remember, I wanted to be an actress. I am a die hard fan of dancing and would take my dad's clothes and my mom's clothes and dance in front of the mirror. I loved my dad's clothes, as they had a lot of glitter in them.
I went to L.A. to be Brad Pitt; now I just want to be Gene Hackman. I came to Nashville to be Kenny Chesney. I'd be very fortunate to be George Strait.
