If I'm going to do television, I wanted that 'North and South' experience. I wanted something that's going to challenge me on a constant basis.

Sometimes a movie encapsulates a period or a moment in all of our lives in such a way that it never dies.

When you are a pit bull, and you love what you do and you are going to continue to grow, that talent will find its way out.

I found that dance was key to keeping depression out of my life.

To be honest, I've made a game out of trying to live through my James Dean, Janis Joplin, Freddie Prinze, Jim Morrison period, those demons that we all have that we're either successful or not at making work for us rather than destroy us.

Everything is designed to help you sell out.

Dance is the pure language of the soul - it's been with us from the very beginning.
