I was too Jewish for 'Flashdance.'

I don't remember ever not knowing about acting.

I have a plate on my neck. I had my neck fused.

Dance is the only thing that makes me feel good.

When I try to be perfect, it makes me not have fun.

Anyone who thinks I'm a plastic-surgery freak is insane.

If my dancing is a disaster - it doesn't define me as a person.

Chronic pain can be very lonely. It can have a shame-based quality.

There are millions of Americans who are suffering from chronic pain.

Unfortunately, the people I end up seeing the least are my girlfriends.

I've always been a defiant little animal - always very much my own person.

It's like dance is a metaphor for going beyond where you think you can go.

My father taught me you have to believe in yourself and run on your own track.

I'll always be this once-famous actress nobody recognises because of a nose job.

I think relationships are really hard. Each one gives you lessons that you need.

I'll always be this once-famous actress nobody recognizes... because of a nose job.

It's very hard to balance being there for somebody else and taking care of yourself.

I have sung, but I haven't sung in any way that I would ever call myself 'a singer.'

Skinny Cow ice cream and candy - like dancing - brings a little bit of fun to your day.

I hope that I'll be able to have kids with a mate. But I don't know if that's in the plan.

I just don't get that new hot music. I don't know anything about all these groups like U2.

I basically walked around with a goiter for four years because I was so afraid of surgery.

If you try to hold on to something you don't have anymore, you can't be happy in the moment.

That was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me ‘Baby,’ and it didn't occur to me to mind.

Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.

I had intelligent, high-minded, liberal parents who wanted to make sure my values were just like theirs.

I'm ticking things off my list: I had a tumor removed; I had spinal surgery; I had four surgeries in three months.

I wish anytime I went into a nice restaurant and asked for a table, they said, 'Well I'm sure you don't want one in the corner.'

I was raised on Broadway because of my dad, but I never thought I had what it took to make it there, although I always wanted to.

I would love to do a little ballroom dancing with my husband... He and I can take a couple classes together. It would be a lot of fun!

The cancer I had is not at all equal to other people's cancer. I've never had to have chemotherapy; I haven't had to have a mastectomy.

I'd had a really bad car accident years ago, and basically, the ligaments in the back of my neck were ripped, and I'd never addressed that.

I have been suffering for so long and didn't even recognize it. I just stopped doing so many things that I used to love to do due to my pain.

I would love to work with my dad! We've never done anything live together. I'm always open to working with talented people, and I think my dad certainly qualifies.

The only time I've ever danced every day was during 'Dancing with the Stars' and in the two-week rehearsal for 'Dirty Dancing,' and that was only to do a particular dance.

I will always have pain. But I exercise as much as I can, and I find that makes a huge difference. And if my body does seize up, I have a pain plan in place. If it escalates, I go back to my doctor.

Practically everyone in Hollywood has a neighbor whos been famous, wants to be famous, is famous, has been married to someone famous, worked with someone famous, slept with someone famous, been blackmailed by someone famous.

I went to dance class as a girl because I didn't like sports, but I never did a dance recital in my life. Never, ever, ever. I felt comfortable dancing, and I was happiest dancing, but I was never the best person in the class.

I wasn't a dancer learning to play Baby Houseman. I was Baby Houseman learning to play a dancer. I was someone who'd never done any Latin dance. I'd taken jazz classes and ballet growing up in New York, so I had dance in me, and I knew I loved it, but I'd never done a dance audition.
