You have to be a little crazy to be a dancer.

I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.

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.

But you do have to start young as a dancer if you're going to achieve the physical skills necessary.

I don't think I'm a good dancer.

A dancer's life is hard - it is so physically demanding, and at any moment, you could have an injury that could end your career.

I'm not a great dancer. I know I'm not. But I know that I can move. I can throw shapes, just not in the right order.

Talent will only take you so far, and it is your ability to feel the music and explore a movement that will bring you the greatest pleasure in dance.

You are an athlete if you are a dancer.

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.
