I personally love to run outdoor fitness trails. I love the meditative value I get when out alone, challenging myself to run faster and higher.

I was very disenchanted in the industry for a long time before I met GaGa. Everyone wanted a Single Ladies for their artist, or a Puffy move.

I dance but I also work out. I run, do strength training... you name it. I've got to!

People were being so mean as a result of my ability - a gift, really. So I think that's what makes me fight harder to provide an option to aspiring kids or artists. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through... to see a little girl or a little dancer experience such unnecessary rejection.

I do believe God inspired and worked on everyone's heart.

I believe it's extremely important to include some other type of fitness activity in your training, so cross training will help you to avoid injury when you are dancing.

I was obsessed with Chubby Checker and old dances, like the twist.

Artist development is something that I've been passionate about from my days at Uptown and Motown Records.

I think that there was a fad where everyone said, I want you to create a signature step for my artist. The thing is, for me, music creates the step. The artist commands the step, you know?

A choreographer deals with the movement that you create, and with a creative director it's about the story, the stage, the lighting, the costuming, executing someone's idea, choosing how far to go or how little to go, and blending it so that you feel it, you're emotionally effected.
