Dance has such an intensity to it. You become, in a way, an intense person.

Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.

Dance is such a stressful environment.

With dance, you learn to channel nerves into energy, excited energy. It's sort of similar when you walk into an audition room, to be able to go takes deep breath and then go in real calm. It was in those ways that it really helped me.

You are relying on a waiting on other people in acting and films, so to be able to have something that I have full creative control over is really very therapeutic.

I used to love ballet and I did it really, really intensely. But it came so much about achieving physical perfection, which when I was 14 was a big deal.

I'm a huge sucker for comfort.
