Tap dancing is all about the feet; you put your head down and don't really engage with anything but the rhythm in your head.

I would love to be able to tap dance.

There probably aren't a lot of actors my age who tap dance.

There are many different styles of, and approaches to, tap. My own leans towards a more intellectual view: tap dancing not just for the sake of entertainment but to educate and spark emotion.

Tap dancers find it very difficult to do anything other than tap if that is all they have been trained in because, again, it's a whole different ballgame that you're constantly working on - bent legs, loose ankles - which you cannot afford to do when you're doing jumps or anything else.

I'm a tap dancer. Once you're a tap dancer, you're always a tap dancer. In 'After Midnight,' I get to dance, but I don't do a full tap number.

Point a light at me, and I'll start tap dancing.
