Every day I count wasted in which there has been no dancing.
At 6 years old, the ice became a place for me to express myself. Because I was so shy off the ice, it became my safe haven, with music and freedom and self-expression. That was my emotional outlet.
Finding ballet gave me passion for the first time in my life. I was always very shy and just wanted to fit in; I never daydreamed about what I wanted to be when I grew up. But dancing gave me a connection to my personality that made me grow.
There is no greater bliss than dancing and performing.
The closest I've come to knowing myself is in losing myself. That's why I loved football before I loved music. I could lose myself in it.
Since I became a dancer, I have felt much better about myself.
I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So, performing was always part of what I was. I don't know if it I enjoyed the response I got from people or if I liked having an audience, but there's something in me that wanted to perform.
The one good thing about dance is that if you are truly yourself, then it's all good.
Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.
I've never worried about being rich or famous - for me, it's all about the dancing.
Tennis, for me, every time I went out on the court, it just gave me such joy to play.
I was always a great bundle of energy. As a child, instead of walking, I would run. And so running, which is a pain to a lot of people, was always a pleasure to me because it was so easy.
I love rock and roll and loved getting on wrestling mats since I was six, and I have never been ashamed of it.
As a dancer, you're told not to go into it for the money.
My business is only to keep myself in motion, whilst motion pleases me; I only walk for the walk's sake.
Dancing and acting satisfy me in different ways.
I think it was important that I learned to love to dance eventually for its own sake, as opposed to wanting to be a ballerina.
It was my whole life; I spent all my time dancing, and I loved it very much.
