I truly believe the discipline I have honed as a dancer will bring me more opportunities as an actor.

I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.

Good acting is consistency of performance.

Acting for screen is very different from acting on stage, and then obviously when you dance... everything is a physical embodiment. But the discipline is the same approach. You have to take both things seriously; nothing well-crafted is by mistake.

Because I did gymnastics for such a long time, it's allowed me to stay really physical, and with the krav maga and all that, I can actually do a lot of my own stunts.

If I thought of gymnastics as a job, it would put too much stress on me.

I grew up doing gymnastics. It requires discipline, eating right, getting sleep, lots of sacrifice. But the pros outweigh the sacrifice.

Everything is about your movements and precision and timing, which is what gymnastics is about.

In most professions, you build up confidence and a sense of achievement as you go along, but that's really not true for acting.

Acting is equal parts talent and perseverance.
