"I didn't care too much for ballet, because you had to be more disciplined, and you sort of looked like everyone else. It required a certain kind of conformity that I didn't feel like I wanted to do."
"The particular ballet was not so important as the fact that I was physically healthy, and capable of getting out there and dancing as often as possible."
"But what was my motivation was music, and the fact that I love to move around. I'm always moving around."
"On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life."
