My goal? To test out every diet and exercise regimen on planet earth and figure out which work best. I sweated I cooked I learned to pole dance. In the end I lost weight lowered my cholesterol and doubled my energy level. I feel better than I ever have.
I always recommend a sensible diet including lots of carbohydrates and avoiding too much fat. Dancers don't need different fuel from other people - they just need more of it because they use more energy.
I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow I lived the way I wanted to.
I don't set goals. Like that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance that's what I'd do. Or design clothes.
It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet I was really into costumes and the arts and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.
When I design a wedding dress with a bustle it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.
My mom was a dancer my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.
I was who I was in high school in accordance with the rules of conduct for a normal person like obeying your mom and dad. Then I got out of high school and moved out of the house and I just started for lack of a better term running free.
You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing.
I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band so I always feel at home at a venue.
Well number one I like dancing. Number two I knew it would be challenging because I had never done this type of dance before. I always wanted to and I happened to have the courage to go out there and give it my best shot.
I was a dancer and it's not really cool for a boy to dance so it was inspiring to see a movie like 'Footloose' where a guy is dancing masculine and had a proper reason behind it. It made me feel cool and when these kids would make fun of me I'd be like 'Oh didn't you see 'Footloose ' man?'
I'm so critical of myself. I'm actually really really proud of the film. It's really cool to see a movie at Sundance because everybody is so supportive.
I'm thought of as a cool unemotional dancer but inside I'm not.
I would like to do a musical if I could find a cool one. A song-and-dance role is closer to me personally than other characters I play.
It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community.
When I grew up we had gym at school two or three dance classes after school ice skating lessons and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist so being active was all we knew.
I see dance being used as communication between body and soul to express what it too deep to find for words.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it move with it and join the dance.
On the dance floor as much as you say 'Ladies you are the car. He is the driver. You can only go where he takes you ' they still try to be in control.
The world is full of abundance and opportunity but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.
Well I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades in show business for a long time. I was a singer and a dancer and then I got a job as an actor.
No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.
Contrary to popular opinion the hustle is not a new dance step - it is an old business procedure.
I had a great movement teacher - he showed me how to walk so I wasn't becoming like a cartoon.
