Personal Quote:

I started out as an interpretative dancer, but I was offered more money if I took my clothes off, so I did. I started dancing at the age of thirteen years old. I became a professional dancer at the age of fifteen years old. If the owners of the clubs I had worked in ever knew that I was only fifteen, I think that they would have had a heart attack.
