To become a classical ballerina, you have to move to New York when you're 12 or 11 and that becomes your life. I just wanted to be good in my company in Charleston and I wanted it to always be part of my life.

I remember, my mom didn't have any help, so if she needed to be somewhere after school, we'd just go down to the neighbors' and she'd give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren't any latchkey kids.

Well, you can't be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there's going to be a flip side to it.

I do think about aging. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can't worry about it too much.

I would roll up pennies to take the subway to work in Times Square. I was broke, but I was happy.

I'm here to tell you I do [have a baby bump]. I am not pregnant, but I have had three kids and there is a bump.

I know I live a charmed, beautiful life and nobody wants to hear a celebrity whine. The last thing I want to do is complain; I love what I do and I know every job comes with a downside.
