It wasn't so much destroying my dancing, it was destroying me.

I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.

I've got over so much. Mum wouldn't want anything to come into my life that would make me fragile again.

One thing that success has taught me is censorship.

I thought it would be my one and only exhibition, so I decided to call it My Major Retrospective.

Some people use just one condom, right? But we use tons.

With any story I write, I could actually write it from three or four different perspectives, which would end with a completely different moral at the end.

My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.

The idea that I'm going to have to sit down to write some fiction where I'm going to have to think of a plot would really scare me, because it would come out a mess.

When I got the phrase media whore thrown in my face last year, I thought, Oh my God, if you only knew.

They grew really quickly. One minute I didn't have any tits and the next I had the biggest tits in the world.

I have hardly any friends who aren't gay.

I'm not trying to find another thing that's wrong with me, but I'm such a nice person, and I have a couple of drinks and I'm really good fun and then I'm really not fun.

People try constantly to use me, and I hate it.

If I didn't want to work for a couple of years, I wouldn't have to-it's a great feeling, to know I'm doing it because I want to do it.

What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.

Maybe I don't believe things myself, as well. Truth is such a transient thing.

There's so much stuff said about me that's not true, so now if something is hurtful and wrong, I send an e-mail or letter immediately, saying, This is not true.

I'm out of here, I'm better than all of you.

It's happened time and time again, but the committee has always decided against it-the work was too conservative or didn't fit within the budget; there are millions of different reasons.

It pleases me that people can be interactive.

All the mistakes I've ever made in my life have been when I've been drunk. I haven't made hardly any mistakes sober, ever, ever.

I am fiercely independent and I probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for the way in which I was brought up.

I've been slagged off completely by the art world.

It wasn't so much destroying my dancing, it was destroying me.

They look at someone like me, and I just really get up their nose. I really wind them up.

People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.

There is nothing difficult about my work, and people get to hear it from me.

It's my memory, and what happened between that moment 10 or 15 years ago and now, there's a lot of gray area.

I never grew up.

I really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.

I'd make a good friend, not mother. I'm too selfish. I think a lot of mothers are selfish and they end up having children, but I don't want to put some small tiny person through that.

I've got to start using my brain more - I've got to be more ethereal and more enlightened.

There's different kinds of love, and I'd never experienced that kind of totally platonic love. All the love I've experienced has always been a kind of deal, and now, as I get older, I realise that there's this other love out there.

When you're 20 or 30, looking ahead, you see these benchmarks for relationships, career, ambition, sexuality, and they went off into infinity. When you get to 50, you look at what's ahead of you, and there's an end. It goes into a nothingness, a void.

They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.

Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.

I don't see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don't define them separately, so I can't say one has helped the other, It's all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing.

It took a brave editor in the U.S. to sign a contract for Dancing Girls, and without her belief in the book, I'm not sure it would ever have found its way into print.

Dancing, apart to music with a beat, is my legacy.

Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave. I can't believe you put yourself out there like that'. If that inspires some girl out there, then great, because boys aren't the only ones who get to have fun. We get to have fun too.

I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.

I had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.

On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.

Aerobic dancing is already adjusting to injury problems and will probably phase out to some extent.

It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper.

Finally, you get the job, and you think you'll be dancing on the ceiling, but I just wanted to go take a nap. It was just like a weight had been lifted off or something.

You don't go dancing in the day. You don't go golfing in the night.
