I was a dancer first, which made me realize how much I loved performing.

My parents sent me to a dance class, so it was a road chosen by them, not me. But I enjoyed it so much I knew I would become a performer.

Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.

When I left Michigan and I came to New York, that was my goal, to be a professional dancer. And I sort of fell into singing by accident in a way.

I wouldn't say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.

I was a breakdancer as a kid. I was on one of the top break dancing teams in Australia.

I could have been a dancer. I just never got my shot at it.

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.

I went to dance class as a girl because I didn't like sports, but I never did a dance recital in my life. Never, ever, ever. I felt comfortable dancing, and I was happiest dancing, but I was never the best person in the class.

I was on a path. I was going to become a principal dancer. I never let my mind rest.
