"No matter what your choices are, you truly have no control about what people think of you."

"Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started."

"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."

"Party of Five won a Golden Globe, it was a well-written television series."

"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."

"People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don't know him at all."

"I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am."

"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."

"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."
