I needed to find my own worth and shake the image after having done 'Showgirls' at age 21.

I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing.

I'm no expert standing at a podium giving speeches. I share heartbeats. Compassion.

I don't think people have seen yet what I can really do. Only appetizers!

I get enough sleep. I take very good care of myself. Growing up as a dancer, you know your body so well, you know what to do to overcome something.

No one goes unscathed, we all go through things. We just can't let people's nasty words become our beliefs about ourselves, you know?

We're not excusing the ones who are mean, but I want girls to understand the psychology. It's not in everyone. But the bully needs to put this pain somewhere.

I had to make some drastic choices to avoid losing myself.

I will never forget experiencing Venice for the first time. It feels like you are transported to another time - the art, music, food and pure romance in the air is like no other place.

You have to be a little crazy to be a dancer.

Girls are so often pitted against each other as enemies or adversaries. We even see it in 'Us' magazine: Who wore it better?

We are like a restless sea, finding a little peace here and a little pleasure there, but nothing permanent and satisfying. So the search continues!

An excellent photograph is the one which has excellently captured an excellent moment!

In difficult situations when hope seems feeble the boldest plans are safest.

To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there's no such thing as perfect.

You've got to love people, places, ideas; you've got to live with mind, body, soul; you've got to be committed; there is no life on the side-lines.

I was an early adopter: have been on the internet continuously since late 1989, barring a six-month loss of access in the early 90s.

Nothing we learn in this world is ever wasted.

With all the opportunities I had, I could have done more. And if I'd done more, I could have been quite remarkable.

The hawthorn bush, with seats beneath the shade, For talking age and whispering lovers made.

My energy comes from freedom and a rebellious spirit.
