 Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started. |
| Party of Five won a Golden Globe, it was a well-written television series. |
| It's almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words. |
| No matter what your choices are, you truly have no control about what people think of you. |
| The first time I ever screamed at someone was in a scene, and I'd never screamed at someone in my life. |
| Ballet is completely unnatural to the body, just being turned-out... it's not the way your body is supposed to function, so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with. |
| There's something really nice about not sitting separate from the crew in some massive trailer away from the studio. To actually be there with them, it's more of a creative process. |
| There's a feeling of elation that comes after getting off stage and then there's a feeling of utter sadness that comes after getting off the stage. |
| 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. |
| Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself. |
| I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am. |
| 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. |
| I've never been opposed to nudity. I've been opposed to nudity for box-office draw. |
| Dance is certainly a sport, and they are phenomenal athletes, and they're also artists. |
| I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films. |
| 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. |
| My issue in the past with nudity was that these scenes had been written solely for box office draw. |
| People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don't know him at all. |
| I'm just one of those people that if I sit down to watch a horror film, I put my hands over my face and I cry a lot and I don't see half of the film because I'm too upset. |
| If you're in a company, you're dancing from 9 a.m. till 7 in the evening, and then you go home and get in a hot tub and get some Epsom salts and try to get your body goin' again. There's no social life, no anything. |
