I realized it's important to have love in your life, it's important to have friendship, it's very important to have mentors and family.

I am very thankful to the Royal Albert Hall for the opportunity to dance here; it's been a long hope of mine.

The most amazing feeling in the world is destroying. It takes so much strength and patience and time to build, and destruction is fast, fast, fast. Explosive.

People are going to think what they want to think. I let them. You can’t control perception. It’s a losing game so I don’t play. I let them lose; lose themselves in their own fantasies of what they want me to be. A rebel, an angel, a romantic, a heart breaker, a boy, a man. Perhaps I am all of those things. Perhaps I’m none. But what I am is for me to find out, not to be dictated to me. It’s for me to know.

If you open yourself as an artist, as a human being to this experience of growing, you grow anyway.

Not many people understand that, but if you open yourself to listening - you don't even have to exercise - you get better with time.

Artists are kids. I feel like I'm six years old.

As soon as I said to myself, "Oh I'm not a dancer; I'm not an actor," it made me so free to do anything. It made me free to not rush, to not be scared of things and say, "Oh, I have no time," or, "I'm not going to make this or that."

As an artist, you have a choice. That gave me the freedom to do what I want to.

I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger, and I don't practice as much as I used to.

I can one day do dance, and the next maybe do a movie, and then maybe I can choreograph, or work with different photographers for fashion shoots, or different art forms. You're never stuck. You're going at a different level. You're sucking in things, rather than closing. You're trying things out.

I wish I could, instead of destroying things like that, I wish I could build, build, build.

The action heroes were very cool as a kid. You would compare yourself with them - Jean-Claude Van Damme and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Fashion was very important to me because I could practice my acting skills, I could practice working with the camera, I could work with amazing photographers. It just gave me a different field of work.
