I love to teach, I love to draw, I love animals. So I don't feel like I am relying on one thing to lead me in my career.

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.

It takes courage to let go of the past and all the mechanisms you have put in place, in order to ease your pain, regret and fear through avoiding responsibility for it.

Live a daring life.

One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one.

Money can add very much to one's ability to lead a constructive life, not only pleasant for oneself, but, hopefully, beneficial to others.

I used to work the graveyard shift.

You take yourself to a place where you've got absolutely nothing left and then you find out you have to push yourself one more step. That's a tough place to be in.

Most women have all other women as adversaries; most men have all other men as their allies.

I treat myself occasionally and don't have any guilt or conditions placed on it.

Reason is the shepherd trying to corral life's vast flock of wild irrationalities.

Later the Administration wanted me to actually sell all remaining surplus by running the War Assets Corporation. I said I couldn't do it without some shoe leather.
