Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize how wonderful you are, doesnt mean you shine any less.

I always look for roles that make me feel good about being a girl. I have to say that there are a lot of roles out there that make me feel really bad about being a girl. You can imagine what the things are and I shall not go into detail.

I've done other things, but it always seems like my sci-fi projects have been what people respond to the most, because those fans are extraordinary, so passionate.

When I stopped doing ballet, I started training in the pool. I would do my barre exercises in the water, because that prevents injuries.

There's this certain caliber of dancing I was striving for when I was younger, and it's very hard for me to go back and just do it for fun. But I take all other kinds of classes: I take jazz classes, modern classes, and I love doing that instead of going to the gym. The gym is not very much fun.

I love it if a man makes an effort to get to know my parents and sisters. Getting to know the people who matter to me goes a long way.

You know, I've always just made the choices on my characters based on my connection to them, and I've made decisions that maybe other people haven't understood; why I passed on something, for instance.
