Theatre is about the collective imagination... Everything I use on-stage is driven by the subject matter and what you might call the text - but that text can be anything, from a fragment of movement or music to something you see on a TV.
Music is my life. I love doing it, so I just do it nonstop all day. And with dancing, I wanted to put on a show for people. I don't want to just be sitting there doing nothing, so that's when I started to dance.
Who decided that when you dance you don't have to think?
I feel far more connected to the whole band if I can somehow physically respond... with my body.
To me, figure skating is an art form, and that's what I always try to bring in, even to my competitive programs.
There's no such thing as standing still and just singing a song. I love jumping into the crowd. I love to dance.
Giving life to music through skating was something I wanted to be known for.
I always make sure there's something for the audience to connect to, in terms of my movements relating to the sounds being heard.
