In terms of withstanding incredible amounts of pain - both physical and emotional - I don't think there's any better training than ballet.

I was actually a huge tomboy growing up.

I'm, like, a real nerd, in that I will take a book that is three inches thick and disappear and not leave until it's done.

One of my modeling bookers told me that the most important thing is to try to be vigilant about taking care of yourself. Get sleep, don't be afraid to trim your hair even if you're trying to grow it out, don't bite your fingernails, and stay in shape. A lot of it is in the little things.

No one is perfect and everyone wishes they could change something about themselves.

When I was growing up, I was really into 'Rent' and I actually slept on the street in New York all night to get to sit in the first few rows for it.
