Would you just strap some toe shoes on and dance 'Swan Lake?' No. Would you just put a violin in your hand and - ? No. I felt that way about acting, and I was taught to feel that way. I didn't come to it on my own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up dancing my whole life, and I always kind of perceived that's what I would do professionally. But when I caught the acting bug, I knew I needed to go with no turning back.
I'd go dance at talent shows, and because I was young I had the upper hand on a lot of other crews. People thought it was cute. I used that to my advantage.
I've always wanted to act; I just didn't know how to get into it. It kind of just happened. Dance brought me into it.
I actually started acting because I couldn't dance.
My mother was a dancer, so I like to use the body as part of the instrument of acting.
I am dancing all the time. Every gesture, the body line of every pose, the way I get from place to place, the movement in the acting - none of it would be the way it is if I weren't a dancer.
I think it'd be the coolest thing if I could get a role in a dance movie. That's something I'm always going to love.
I always promised myself if I ever got the chance to do a 'Flashdance'-type of movie, I would do my own dancing. I can say with pride that every single dance move in 'Go For It!' is my own dance move.
The thing about acting is you have to wait to be asked to the dance.
I've always felt like I can dance.
