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 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.

I love New York. I love the multicultural vibe here. Los Angeles doesn't inspire me in any way. Everyone is in the same industry, yet you feel very isolated.

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

I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am.

I've never been opposed to nudity. I've been opposed to nudity for box-office draw.

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