I trained as a dancer and did all that kind of stuff. And as a dancer, pressure's a good thing.
I'm more of a freestyle dancer. I like to do my own thing.
If I was trained as a dancer then I probably would have been a dancer, and I'm not.
People misconstrue when I say I was a dancer. I was not classically trained. I was a street dancer, and I got to do what I did in the nightclubs of New York City.
I originally wanted to be a ballet dancer and trained for years, but when I was around 18, I realized I wasn't going to be as good a ballet dancer as I'd hoped I'd be and decided to become an actress instead.
I'm not a trained singer, I'm not a trained dancer.
My background is somewhat unusual, as I trained to be a ballet dancer. I worked in the theatre for eight or nine years as a contemporary dancer. But as an actor one does read Shakespeare and does try to learn the classics.
When I started I only swam freestyle, and did just freestyle in my first Paralympics.
I don't freestyle, but when I'm writing and thinking, sometimes things pop up - that's basically a freestyle.
When I drop a freestyle, I'm like, 'This freestyle gotta go hard' or when I do something it's, 'How can we top this?'
If you just freestyle, everybody is gonna go, 'Freestyle.'
I am a trained dancer.
I'm not a trained dancer in the slightest.
I have rhythm, but I'm not a trained dancer.
I like to say, 'Once a dancer, always a dancer.' In everything - the way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk, the way you sit - everything is just, you've been trained a certain way your whole life, so it's a bit muscle memory.
