I've been talked about by a lot better people than the general public. ”

As far as the general public is concerned, I always tell people that you need to look like a dance teacher like you're looking for a pediatrician. ”

Cry if you have a compound fracture, by all means. Or if your grandpa died. But otherwise, save it for your pillow. ”

I've been invited to do 'Dancing With the Stars' three times, but Lifetime said no. ”

I have no problem yelling at anybody's kid - free of charge! ”

I think any activity you have your kids in, you're all trying to live vicariously through them. And you're jealous of the kid that's naturally more talented or has the facility, the body, the genes, or the God-given talent. People get jealous of that. ”

I've taken so many kids out of Pittsburgh and onto the great white way in New York City right into a Broadway show. ”

Britney Spears was an incredible dancer. That kid was amazing. ”

If you want someone to say, 'She's so sweet, and she's so cute, and, honey, point your foot,' that's not my school. You can go to the YMCA and have a nobody teach your kid if that's what you want to hear. ”

I made lots of mistakes - the number one mistake being trusting other people with my money. ”
