My only drive was to be the best dancer in the world, but I never won the world championship.

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.

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.

The more I read arguments for atheism, the more I am convinced it takes a very strong faith to be an atheist. And atheism seems to me the least reasonable of all faiths.

God has disclosed himself in descriptive terms that give us enough information to be able to know who he is, and he has hidden enough of himself for us to learn the balance between faith and reason.

To find solace in the wrong area as it seems to be at first is to seek God for direction

I always entertain great hopes.

It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.

If you invite someone into your front room you can't be surprised when there are suddenly people outside your windows with cameras.

I don't think you can be a good musician if you just listen to rap, or just the [type of music] you do. You gotta be open to other ideas.

Partner with churches to assist the poor.

A very Merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear.

Lord knows what incommunicable small terrors infants go through, unknown to all.
