I was a go-go dancer, too. I called myself 'Grace Mendoza' to fool my parents.

I'm not a dancer.

If I didn't believe in myself as a dancer, I wouldn't choreograph.

Inside down deep a dancer lives. One way or another the dancer will get loose eventually.

I always thought that feminine, softer side was just too vulnerable to put out there, because then it's like you're opening up a door for everybody to come in, and you don't know who's going to come in that door.

I see myself as no color. I can play the role of a man. I can paint my face white if I want to and play the role of white. I can play a green, I can be a purple. I think I have that kind of frame and that kind of attitude where I can play an animal.
