Man is a little bit better than his reputation, and a little bit worse

That's the way to live - around people who care. It may be a tough ride, but something is going to come out of it.

It's not personal, it's strictly business

When I was younger, I would go to auditions to have the opportunity to audition, which would mean another chance to get up there and try out my stuff, or try out what I learned and see how it worked with an audience, because where are you gonna get an audience?

Acting is hard work. At times, it's very energizing and enervating. It's childish. It's also responsible. It's illuminating, enriching, joyful, drab. It's bizarre, diabolical. It's exciting.

Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don't believe me when I tell them. That's how I saw myself, in comedy.

All due respect, and trying to be as modest as I can be: I am a dancer.
