I've been talked about by a lot better people than the general public.

If I could have worked from the time I was born until I was 18 and never had to work again, I would have done it.

I've always put everybody else's child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.

I made lots of mistakes - the number one mistake being trusting other people with my money.

So many people think of me as a character on TV, but first and foremost, my passion is teaching dance and creating employable, working dancers.

I rely on other people every day of my life.

Doing a show for three weeks is nothing like doing a show for seven seasons.

I never wanted to perform and never proclaimed myself to be a performer.

I teach children to be winners.

Like it or not, there are a lot of dance teachers in this country who respect me, whether they personally like me or not.
