If you just work on your upper body, you're not going to be a full-range dancer or performer. You've got to work in all directions as much as you possibly can.

There's something so wonderful about being an actor in New York.

My son was born somewhat late in my life and I just found myself really feeling like I didn't want to miss out on being a parent and being with him, and not wanting a situation where I was constantly pulled back and forth between being present, and having all these other pressures and considerations.

A lot of times when I've been offered film series and stuff, if they shoot in Los Angeles, I lose interest.

I just felt like I had to create a life for myself where I was more independent.

I watch many, many, many independent films every year that you see once in a film festival and they're never heard of ever again. Many of them are very, very good.

Unfortunately, I feel as actors we have to fight for the right to really go in as many directions as possible.
