I took tap classes growing up.

I was never crying and shaking like the Beliebers do, but I understand the idolizing of a hero.

For someone like Daniel Radcliffe, it’s really fun to go against your image. He’s such a goody-two-shoes in Harry Potter. I just wanted him to throw off the gloves and be weird and quirky.

A director is what a director wants to be. If you want to force something, you can fight to the death and maybe get fired, but it's your job to help push things along.

I just feel so lucky to tell stories and make up stories and share them with people.

Each dancer has a different dialect that they speak.

I loved 'The Social Network.' I think it's one of those movies that will stand the test of time.

I don't understand why we're all connected wirelessly via a little machine that goes in our pocket, to everybody in the world, and you have to have reels for a movie.

You're never going to satisfy everybody.

Once you see dance as a weapon - and everyone has a different weapon - it makes dance really interesting.

I love 3-D, and for certain movies it can be really great, and for certain movies it can be poison.

Be therefore not anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow will be anxious for the things of itself.

I love devastating movies, documentaries and hummingbirds (yes, in that order).

Without romance, films will be boring. I doubt if people now understand romance, though they may claim it otherwise. I am very romantic in real life.

When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.

Little dogs bite more than big dogs but they get away with it.

One must have all the virtues to sleep well. Shall I bear false witness? Shall I commit adultery? Shall I covet my neighbor's maid? All that would go ill with good sleep.

I'm not gonna try to defend, or undo what's been done. All I could say about whatever's been done, it's been done, and it's water under the bridge. I have no regrets of my life.

When I got my first guitar my fingers wouldn't go to the sixth string so I took off the big E and played with just five strings. I was only 6 or 7.

December is a month that is rife with nostalgia. If there's anything deep in your heart that you want to keep buried, you can count on December to bring it to the surface.

Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubt at being told that it is a fragment awaiting perfection.
