I am a practicing Catholic, but my lineage is Jewish, so if someone asks me if I’m Jewish, I say yes.
I’ve never been opposed to nudity. I’ve been opposed to nudity for box-office draw.
I have the ugliest feet in the world. But even if I didn’t dance, they would still be ugly. My toes are too big!
I don’t know how people can live without a therapist.
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.
Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.
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.
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.
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.
Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.
People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don’t know him at all.
Party of Five won a Golden Globe, it was a well-written television series.
My issue in the past with nudity was that these scenes had been written solely for box office draw.
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.
That’s absolutely how I am. Like race, black or white – I see absolutely no difference. Because for me it’s just such a reality. You are human, I am human, let’s try to accept one another for whatever we are.
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.
If you can see life as a learning experience, you can turn any negative into a positive.
I’m sorry if my traumatized life is an inconvenience to you and your perfect existence.
