I think, though, the biggest heroes in my life would have been both my mother and father. My father because he was very brave and a kid from the Depression. And my mother, a child from the Depression too, who always remained so lovely her whole life.

I always say that you can't be afraid to ask the question. What's the worst that could happen? The answer could be "no" and you go on.

I think theatres will always remain a sacred place where people go for something live and experience things live, which is very different than the experience of film.

I think a woman who is successful is critiqued more harshly than a man is critiqued.

I tell stories through dance, and I think that's why I'm so attracted to the theatre because even the choreography in theatre moves the plot forward at all times.

I would love to direct a play. But I think when people look at me they see music and dancing and singing.

I am a storyteller, and I grew up with a father who told big-fish stories, so storytelling is very much a part of me. It was a part of my family.
