I grew up in dance studios. I was forced to be in several numbers in recitals and dance competitions. I took one tap class - literally one class - and then I quit.

Rugrats was my favorite cartoon growing up as a kid.

I'm weirdly flexible, so when I dance, I dance like a 17-year-old girl.

I love dancing, actually. My mother taught children's dance, ballet, tap, jazz...I'm very flexible.

I kind of strive for being able to go home and having a totally separate life.

I would like to think there is a reason and a choice behind everything.

You've got to stop going back and forth. You've got to make up your mind.

I think the movies that don't try to please people are movies that you respect more in the end.

I don't know how to describe my sense of humor.

The moment that you start to read a script, you're watching the movie in your mind, and that's the one moment that you have. Then, you go off to make the movie and you become so lost in it.

I never really want to repeat myself, obviously, but even if I do, it's because it is a choice.

When we identify the thoughts that keep us from seeing others as they truly are we prepare the ground for real love.

When somebody criticise you, be happy and thankful because they have given you an opportunity to think about the matter more precisely and more detailed!

Exile might satisfy the anger of the living, but it did not appease the dead.

If you wanna be a writer, you must learn to paint a picture with words.

You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are, others will want to be with you, want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you're giving to them.

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy.

The air to a glider pilot is a reality. . . . He is trying to understand it in all its moods; to learn its flow, its laws, and to try and use this knowledge to his own ends.

Music has many uses and I think the most perfected use that music has is one of a healing quality.

Great writing can be done in biography, history, art.

An eagerness and zeal for dispute on every subject, and with every one, shows great self-sufficiency, that never-failing sign of great self-ignorance.
