When I was a dancer, I was acting.

Usually I perform with dancers.

I always wanted to perform in some capacity since I was a kid - I was a ballerina, then a singer before acting.

I heard a lot in school, 'You've got a really great talent, but there's no way you're going to be a dancer with that body.'

I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.

The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body.

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.

In dance you use every party of your body except your voice. I wanted to start acting because I wanted to use my voice.

I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So performing was always part of what I was.
