The teacher always used me as an example to the class of good English and good storytelling because we all had to write the same stories. But she used to make me go out front – which I hated – and read my story to the class and I would get huge applause. Not because of who I was but because they truly enjoyed the stories I wrote.

I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.
I just can’t conceive of how a person could hate another because of skin color. I love every race on the planet earth.
I believe that through music we can help heal the world.
Deep inside I feel that this world we live in is really a big, huge, monumental symphonic orchestra. I believe that in its primordial form, all of creation is sound and that it’s not just random sound, that it’s music.
I believe in wishes and in a person’s ability to make a wish come true, I really do. And a wish is more than a wish... it’s a goal that your conscience and subconscience can help make reality.
Thinking is the biggest mistake a dancer could make. You have to feel.
