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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A good story should make you laugh, and a moment later break your heart.

The stigma of mental illness is first and foremost a social justice issue!

There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.

I don't want any minister to pray for me. But if you want a minister there to pray for the crowd, I won't object.

I've always lived to seize the moment, to squeeze every drop of expectation out of myself for whatever that moment gives you.

A man who is ill-adjusted to the world is always on the verge of finding himself. One who is adjusted to the world never finds himself, but gets to be a cabinet minister.

You should know how many incompetent men I had to compete with-in vain.

You're not always going to be at your best, but it better be the best you've got that day.

A Lawyer will do anything to win a case, sometimes he will even tell the truth.

Fashion is killing women's body image of themselves.
