I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I've never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you're not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.

We're not excusing the ones who are mean, but I want girls to understand the psychology. It's not in everyone. But the bully needs to put this pain somewhere.

I had to work out where I was going, what type of films I wanted to make. For that reason, I decided to choose independent productions, less important roles, and I tried theater, too.

No one can hand you anything as a dancer. You have to earn it.

I needed to find my own worth and shake the image after having done 'Showgirls' at age 21.

One thing I've learned: My intentions are clear in terms of quality.

I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing.
