I think people don't often realize how much goes into being a male dancer. It's athletic and it's hard. It's not just men wearing tights, or wanting to be around women.

The worst beauty advice that I have ever taken has been from people who have told me that sunscreen isn't necessary. Not true!

That being said, I am not one to feel sorry for myself. I believe it is healthy to honor one's feelings and do the best we can to learn and grow from them moving forward.

I think one of the big challenges about science fiction is finding truth to relate to as an actor.

The second time I was banned was when I directed a film called Xiu Xiu. I was banned for three years from China.

I am a huge animal lover. Growing up, my mother and I rescued countless animals - dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, even a turtle. I have been accused of caring more about animals than I do about people.

In high school ethics they went around and asked what everyone thought their classmates were qualified to do. For me, everyone said actress. But to me it was very much "if it happens, it happens."

I feel vulnerable when I am underprepared. This applies to underpreparedness with just about anything, especially work.

I enjoyed acting growing up; I did musical theater. I had a secret desire to be a television and movie actress, but it wasn't something I admitted to myself that I wanted to do, I guess.

Stage performance is obviously a much grander sort of depiction. The audience isn't right in your face as close as a camera lens gets.

I think the idea of embodying the physical presence of a character is the same on stage and screen. There are just different levels of expression to keep in mind for each platform.

Every  person’s  life  should  include  one  reckless  moment.

My downfall raises me to infinite heights.

To be a leader means to be able to move masses

You know, sometimes you can't just take an armadillo, put it in the barn, light it on fire and expect it to make licorice.

Maybe that's because guns are sold at a profit, while schools are provided by the government.

My goal is really to continue to make music.

When I think about why I would be a writer, why I should continue to be a writer, it seems to me one of the few things you can dowhere you're never bored.

I'm pretty ruthless about that; I think when you sign over your story, you sign over your story.

Planting and growing increasing quantities of trees is the scientific solution to Earth's environmental dilemma.

If the theme is simple, you can include a hundred details that create the illusion of actuality better.
