I'm probably in better shape now than I was when I was in my 20s.

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.

Every comforting word is a command from a man of action...While every word of command is commotion from a man of just words...

Each and every generation must discover its own mission or drown into the well of oblivion

Had I been injured on the freeway and not in combat, it is likely that I would be bankrupt even though I had medical insurance through my civilian employer.

Avoid giving invitations to bores - they will come without.

I can explain all the poems that were ever invented - and a good many that haven't been invented just yet.

It's hard enough to make a novel a novel. I wouldn't know how to make it something else at the same time

Now that I have all the things I once thought would make me happy, they have little meaning for me. Experience, and not just a little heartache, has taught me money buys convenience and conveniences.

I think the only way to get through this life is laughing hard and constantly, mostly at myself.

You were safe on a troll. Anyone wanting to mug a troll would have to use a building on a stick.

Maybe the only significant difference between a really smart simulation and a human being was the noise they made when you punched them.
