Physical expression was my first language: Before I was an actor, I was a dancer, an acrobat, a mime and a street performer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.
It's something that I learned even before I started acting: the movement, the dance of the body, is very important, and it comes before words.
I think it started since I was born, I always had a need to express myself, you know, as a human being, and I found that it felt right when I expressed myself through art, dance, through acting, so it kind of happened naturally.
I was a dancer first, which made me realize how much I loved performing.
I remember playing with some friends and being aware that I was acting as I was playing with them - I would think of a character and pretend to be someone else. My parents also took me to ballet school, and there I think I was able to start communicating those feelings or emotions - I danced for so many years.
When I was younger, I started taking singing lessons and dance and acting. I just started acting first because that's how everything happened.
I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.
I always was drawn to the performing arts. I started dancing when I was two. I sang, loved to act, and loved going to visit my mom on-set. But she wanted me to have a normal childhood, so I wasn't really allowed to pursue acting till I got older.
I was a professional ballerina. After becoming an actress, I did a lot of theater, which included musical theater. The first musical play I did was Murray Schisgal's 'The Pushcart Peddlers.'
When I was a dancer, I was acting.
