There's something really nice about not sitting separate from the crew in some massive trailer away from the studio. To actually be there with them, it's more of a creative process.

It's almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words.

No matter what your choices are, you truly have no control about what people think of you.

Dance is certainly a sport, and they are phenomenal athletes, and they're also artists.

If you're in a company, you're dancing from 9 a.m. till 7 in the evening, and then you go home and get in a hot tub and get some Epsom salts and try to get your body goin' again. There's no social life, no anything.

My issue in the past with nudity was that these scenes had been written solely for box office draw.

There are very few dance companies in the world and you have to be phenomenal. You have to not be injured. You have to have a really strong mind to deal with the dance world. People who can do it are amazing to me. You cannot have a life outside of dance.
