“When you’re a dancer who is injured, you are at the bottom of the food chain. We are so replaceable.”

I have the greatest picture of Ted [Danson]. That was a big caper,

I really loved Kelsey [Grammer]. It wasn’t a romantic love, but there was something about him. It’s very difficult to see someone you care about having a hard time.

The musical stuff I’d go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

On the rare occasions I go to the gym, I prefer silence.

When I was born, they put casts on my legs ’cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.

I don’t see myself as a diva at all.

I don’t see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don’t define them separately, so I can’t say one has helped the other, It’s all the same thing.

More than anything I love being on stage and performing

I’ve never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

Creating a role is an interesting thing – each show or each situation is different.

The hand that dips into the bottom of the pot will eat the biggest snail.

The bottom line is that if you become a master at handling problems and overcoming obstacles, what can stop you from success? The answer is nothing! And if nothing can stop you, you become unstoppable!

My mom taught me this really great beauty tip. She used to put oil or mayonnaise on the bottom half of her hair before she would shower.

Bottom trawling is a ghastly process that brings untold damage to sea beds that support ocean life.

We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well.

The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.

To me, nothing else about a tree is so remarkable as the extreme delicacy of the mechanism by which it grows and lives.

In this universe the top end is light and the bottom end is real hard stuff.
