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.

There's a feeling of elation that comes after getting off stage and then there's a feeling of utter sadness that comes after getting off the stage.

Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.

Scream" was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.

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.

I was... the loser of my class. I had absolutely no friends.

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