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

With dance, you learn to channel nerves into energy, excited energy.

I like to be absorbed in what my character's doing.

I really like trying to find the roles that are actually really meaningful to me.

It sounds corny to say, but it was really inspiring seeing kids that were just living and connecting with people. That was something I really understood, the need and want for connection, and fun, and it not needing to be sympathetic, just sort of good fun.

In our world, we have so many ways we can escape with technology, like TV, Facebook, computers, text messaging and all that.

I get restless easily so I always want to keep working, but I am trying to pace it as well.
