People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don't know him at all.

I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films.

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

You're being cast for your acting ability. It's not based on the way your body functions. If you're playing a lead in a movie, it's for that character and they'll tailor it to you. In a dance company, you have to fit in a definite mold.

When I look back on it now, I am so glad that the one thing that I had in my life was my belief that everything in life is a learning experience, whether it be positive or negative. If you can see it as a learning experience, you can turn any negative into a positive.

I'm sorry if my traumatized life is an inconvenience to you and your perfect existence.

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.
