Acting for me is not a bad habit like smoking that I must make an effort to quit. I love acting; I love directing.

There are many ways you can make money. Certain ways will make you happy, certain other ways will make other people happy. But if you go in because there's money in there, you're bound to fail, bound to fail!

The difference between me and American-born actors is that I came here with the expectation of not being treated fairly.

If you know how to do a job very well, you keep doing it.

My fairy-tale life ended the moment I wanted to apply for a passport.

In order to dance professionally, you have to start at a young age. No matter what, your muscle structure and your bones have to be groomed from a very young age. Nobody wakes up at 17 and decides to become a ballet dancer. I'm saying that and someone's going to be born tomorrow who decides to do that and I'm going to have my foot in my mouth.

I miss directing. I see stories in images and music more so than in dialogue.
