I had a very curly perm in the '80s, thanks to the 'Way You Make Me Feel' Michael Jackson video. I liked the girl in it.

The discipline that ballet requires is obsessive. And only the ones who dedicate their whole lives are able to make it. Your toenails fall off and you peel them away and then you're asked to dance again and keep smiling. I wanted to become a professional ballet dancer.

We need to stop the dying and start the living; stop the hunger and start the hoping.

I love learning on the set. But, directing is not something I want to do.

When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.

I don't do Twitter, Facebook; none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.

To be able to explore the genre of the musical is nice. It was great to be able to sing professionally, for the first time, and dance, which was something that I did growing up, but I had not done for many, many years.
