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

I’ve seen some very beautiful drag queens.

People make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.

I don’t have any delusions of grandeur or delusions of failure. In terms of my work, I’ve got a pretty cold honest eye.

There was one person [opening] the door with a butter knife and another person kicking the door in so I could get a photo. He’s decapitated, but totally nude. And he’s really well-endowed.

It’s a blessing as an artist to express myself – whether that be via dance, via song or via speech – in so many different ways.

I don’t feel complete. It doesn’t feel like the electricity is making its connections

I’m not a performer who will come on stage and tell you everything about my life. It’s just not who I am.

Anything that I do, I try to make it as good as I possibly can.

Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see.

Kirstie [Alley] saved me, in a way. [At the time], I had a terrible marriage, and I stayed at her house.

I loved Jay Thomas as Eddie LeBec. But there was a point where they [thought] maybe we would live together, and I didn’t like the idea of Carla being with somebody because that would make you feel like [you’re] not part of the people in the bar.

I’ve been very fortunate in my collaborators throughout my career.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

That was the aura of Cheers: It was special. It was more than TV; you could get people to guest on the show you couldn’t normally get.

If I’m not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven’t been able to get to class for a while or I’ve been sick.

Illogically, I tend to assume that if you ( Philip Larkin) dream of caning schoolgirls bottoms, it disqualifies you from dismissing half the nation as work-shy.

Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.

But at the bottom of it all there’s this theme of being honest to the people you love. I want to be that. And if Headhunters is one of the movies that help me realise that, then that’s perfect.

The wine glasses are empty except for that one undrinkable red spot at the bottom.

You must learn to drink the cup of life as it comes … without stirring it up from the bottom. That’s where the bitter dregs are!

And when you clear away the cobwebs of the description of every job in the world, at the bottom of that job is service.

I have studied this Book, and I would never even dream of saying I’ve come to the bottom of the Word of God.

Yet the abyss is not not infinite; its bottom may suddenly be discovered within the confines of a human heart or under the debris of might doubts.
