I went to Indiana University for college for a couple of years where I double majored in dance and journalism, and after my sophomore year there, I went to the San Francisco Ballet school for the summer, but then they offered me a scholarship to stay for the year. That's where I danced after the year they offered me a contract with the company.

I take class. I'm always ballet ready. I'm ready to go - got my tights and my shoes.

There are a lot of stereotypes to be broken which I think a lot of us are doing. What I do is, as soon as people try to pin me down to one kind of part, I'll play a very different kind of role, so it explodes that stereotype.

I don't find intimate scenes more difficult than other scenes.

I don't want to tell people what I make. It's a lot more than I ever dreamed of as a kid. I never think about it.

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

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.
