[on dance] It's one of the hardest things to do--to be free enough to dance, to move around.

Dancing is still about freedom.

When it came time to choose a high school, my mother came up to see my guidance teacher, who was also my French teacher. I wanted to go to farming school. I had a plot of land in a small park and grew carrots, radishes, corn, lettuce and flowers. The Eiffel Tower on display that I had made out of toothpicks influenced the decision. 'I think Remy should be an artist,' my mother said. 'It's more practical.'
