I don't wear a lot of makeup in real life and I try to take care of my skin. I clean it, I moisturize it, but mainly I just try to drink a ton of water.

I was a very outgoing, gregarious, full-of-energy kid.

Ballet is an incredibly difficult, beautiful art form that takes a lot of training, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.

Even when I’m not working, I’m still working on something because I just want to create something.

I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.

I made things a lot harder than they needed to be out of fear and anxiety.

I'm used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that's all I've ever known. It's what I've done for 20 years, which is crazy.

I've done some TV and I've done a lot of theater, obviously, and the last character I played on Broadway was a very fast-talking broad. I'm used to learning material and words.

I feel like my life now, it's only getting better, which feels nice.

It's a bit of an outside-in approach - so often the clothing can reveal so much about a character. It's like part of her superhero costume that she gets to put on and become someone else.

It's okay not to know everything; that would have calmed me down.

Where was my guardian angel when I needed him most? If only I knew.

You can't save the world...save YOUR heart. Be a catalyst & create a life where you are powerful. Rebel. Be happy & allow others happiness.

The writers are so smart, I can only imagine. I would love to be in that room. I love the creative process.

Nothing in a portrait is a matter of indifference. Gesture, grimace, clothing, decor even - all must combine to realize a character.

The three great apostles of practical atheism, that make converts without persecuting, and retain them without preaching, are wealth, health and power.

House music is about love, and lots of hip hop is about hate and intolerance, so in that respect, it's not good at all.

At some point in the journey of being in it for yourself, you realize you need other people. Any good frontier story, in some respect, is about that.

Educational legislation nowadays is largely in the hands of illiterate people, and the illiterate will take good care that their illiteracy is not made a reproach on them.

Calmness is the living breath of God's immortality in you.

Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.
