Being a dancer I've got the idea that through discipline and hard work, you can develop the ability to be in a different dimension within seconds.

When you're onstage, you are someone else. Beyoncé is very conscious of this. She said to me, "I'm another person when I'm onstage." And I said, "Oh yes, you are! You are an animal when you are onstage. You are a stage animal."
