I like to turn the venue into a jungle gym, into my playground.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The gym was my only refuge. I could put music on and dance around with my girlfriends and be silly.
I didn't know I wanted to be a gymnast; I was just introduced to the gym. I loved the place because it looked like a hi-tech playground with mats and a lot of things I can hang from.
It has always been, and still is, my intention to build a playground in Central Park.
I wanted to be a 'jungle mom', where you're giving birth and getting up and doing things straightaway.
I love being in the gym.
I'm very lucky to work in so many different arenas of the entertainment industry and I do enjoy them all, but making music - original music - in the studio or live onstage is definitely my favorite thing to do.
I'm opening gyms around the world to encourage people to get in shape and feel good about themselves; bringing art through dance to gyms to make my gyms different from other people's.
I just like playing music and doing it with people that I care about. It doesn't really matter where. It's like, 'Why don't we just play piano in a small bar? Why do we want to make an arena full of people happy?'
My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive.
If I get a script that's set in the jungle it goes to the bottom of the pile because I don't think the playgrounds are going to be very good there! I'm really aware of how lucky I am but I have the kind of job where I can bring my child to work.
