I really wanted to be a dancer, but I ended up as an actress and I got to perform next to some of the greatest actors of our time.

I was always a singer and a dancer, and I always wanted to be an actress. For me, it's all just one thing.

I am not a great singer and I am not a great dancer, but I am a great actress, and nobody ever let me except Preston Sturges. He believed in me.

For me, as an actress, being a dancer has helped me. I've done it with my feet bloody.

I'd like to wrap it up with three in a row and be national champions next year.

Diana Vishneva is not only a magnificent dancer but a magnificent actress - no one works harder or understands more.
