Artists need to express.

People make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.

The musical stuff I'd go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

I've never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

When you're a dancer who is injured, you are at the bottom of the food chain. We are so replaceable.

I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I'd fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.

I've seen some very beautiful drag queens.

I was not influenced by concerts as a child, but I was very strongly influenced by the ballets I saw.

I don't see myself as a diva at all.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

When I was born, they put casts on my legs 'cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.

Only a foolish child would go swimming in the river that swallowed his father.

Yes, we rather condemn people for eternity without the courtesy of informing them.

I try to have no absolute nos. I love french fries, I like a good burger, and I like pie. And that's okay.

Submission to suffering is a form of annihilation, but transformation of suffering rekindles a faith that gives life.
