It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.

People make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.

The musical stuff I'd go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

I've never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

When you're a dancer who is injured, you are at the bottom of the food chain. We are so replaceable.

I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I'd fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.

I've seen some very beautiful drag queens.

I was not influenced by concerts as a child, but I was very strongly influenced by the ballets I saw.

Artists need to express.

I don't see myself as a diva at all.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

But the trick most folk are so awfully fond of learning, the absolute second they've got hold of a heart, is to pretend they don't have one at all. It is the very first danger of the hearted.

The technology of the future is made possible by the science of today.

Love finds you in the strangest places, and hope clings to us in the nooks and crannies we never think to look.

There are many things for which I owe gratitude to my dad. Most of all, I am grateful to the only man who could love my mother more than me.

I'm told I'm very charming when people do what I want.

She doesn’t think she’s worthy to live. But she doesn’t realize, she is life.

The modern campus is deeply obsessed by race and gender, and not much else.

Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you, and always be true to yourself.

How happy the life unembarrassed by the cares of business!

There really isn't a time to pause and have a celebration. I feel so serious about the whole thing.
