And I just thought, this is what I want to be. And I knew that dancing would be my chosen profession.

So dancing was not something I had a great desire to do.

My feelings started to change when I realized that dancing was getting inside my body, emotionally, as well as physically.

There is pain and sacrifice in everyone's world. That's why, when I was dancing, I had no pain.

I'm thought of as a cool, unemotional dancer, but inside I'm not.

Once I started dancing, I was not the spoiled brat or the rebellious child that I was as a child.
