I'm busier than ever and it's led to new opportunities. But I've never worried about being rich or famous - for me, it's all about the dancing.

My perfect morning is spent drinking coffee, eating porridge and reading the paper at a local cafe.

If things don't go fantastically, you just have to deal with it.

I don't like the Samba; it's nonsense. With a lot of these Latin dances I can't really understand what they're all about. I like the Rumba and the Paso Doble but the others I could take or leave.

It's great that ballroom dancing is being recognised. For many years ballroom dancers were misunderstood and other dance forms didn't want anything to do with us.

Ballroom is two people dancing together to music, touching in perfect harmony.

I like to get up and get out. Otherwise you end up kicking about, and it's easy to flick the telly on; then before you know it, it is 11 A.M. and you haven't done anything.

Sadly, it has often been said that my rear is better than my front, so thank you very much indeed.

My goal is to be the best TV presenter, the best entertainer, the best singer. I still want to be the best dancer. I want to be the best at everything I do.

Too many multi-vitamins are packaged as one size fits all, but you should be more specific about what you need. When I was competing as a dancer, I took zinc for healthy skin and immune system.

Being fit is the easiest part of being a dance professional. I used to just throw on a backpack full of rocks and run up a hill. You don't even have to go to a gym.

Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.

If you notice that devil hinder your work or demons disturb your family etc., then address them and cast them out of your circumstances

Historical investigation and literary criticism have taken the magic out of the Bible and have made it a composite human book, written by many hands in different ages.

A flower is relatively small... Still in a way-nobody sees a flower-so I said to myself-I'll paint it big.

Work is no disgrace: it is idleness which is a disgrace.

Aure entuluva! day shall come again!

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.

The leaf, still green, must someday fall such grief and joy to live at all.

Adventure travel existed before I started, I just didn’t know it.

Basic principles: no matter what, no matter when, no matter who... any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet. He just needs the right broom.
