I danced in a Lifetime film. We shot in Canada and I got to work with a lot of the dancers who do So You Think You Can Dance, Canada.

If you have the right costumes you feel more confident as the character, they really help you act.

I will always have a career. I believe in working. I don't believe that taking care of your house and children is enough for a woman. You don't feel complete.

The young people, they don't knock on the door politely and say "May I come in?" They barge in, they take your seat, and you're obsolete unless you recreate and somehow find grace somewhere else. Another profession may not be like that.

America and China need to understand each other.

Since age 14, I know what actors fear, what they like; I know how to get things out of them and I listen to them better, since I've been there.

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