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 would say it's like a meditative process, to have everything done for you every morning.

I never went on an audition - when they were really looking at everybody.

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

When you feel so strongly about something and other people feel equally strongly, you have to feel stronger about it in order to succeed.

I love any opportunity to be able to dance. It's in my blood. I mean, I need to do it as an artist. I need to always do it.

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