You should have seen me at 14, with braces and glasses, gangly and doing ballet!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I went through an awkward adolescence and had braces.
Since I was 8 months old, till I was 12, I did commercials and ads and cute little stuff for kids. Then I had braces on my teeth. They took them off when I was 16, and then I started modeling more seriously and doing more fashion.
As soon as I started dancing at 14, I knew I was always going to be a professional dancer.
By the time I was 7, I did walk-ons, catalogue modeling, you name it. In the Queens where I grew up, you didn't go bowling on Saturday; you went to dancing school.
I was a good-looking kid. I never felt, like, dorky. I was just like, 'Yup, these are my braces. I've had them forever.'
Up until I was about 12, I was a ballet dancer and a basketball player.
I knew I wanted to act when I was around 14.
I started taking ballet lessons when I was 4, and I was performing in ballet companies when I was 10, and I did summer stock in Miami Beach when I was 12, and finally I said, 'I gotta go to Broadway.'
At age 10, I was better at ballet than I think I will ever be at any physical activity for the rest of my life.
I was 14 when I started modeling. At the end of that first day my mum said, If you want to do this, you're on your own because I'm not traipsing around London ever again like that. It's a nightmare.
