In '92, I got my first Broadway show as a performer - 'Crazy for You.' I was in the ensemble. In fact, I was in eight Broadway shows as a dancer. Seven of them were original shows. That's how I learned to create something from the ground up.

I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.

I was the lead in two musicals, and I took dance classes.

I started out doing musicals.

I never thought of myself as a Broadway actress. I'm not really a singer or a dancer.

I've never really done acting before, 'cause dancing was my first love. And then, I sort of fell into it from a talent competition and never really looked back.

I'd studied dance in Chicago every summer end taught it all winter, and I was well-rounded. I wasn't worried about getting a job on Broadway. In fact, I got one the first week.

All I ever wanted to do was be on Broadway. I mean, remember, I grew up in a trailer.

I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.
