Dance is certainly a sport, and they are phenomenal athletes, and they're also artists.
You're being cast for your acting ability. It's not based on the way your body functions. If you're playing a lead in a movie, it's for that character and they'll tailor it to you. In a dance company, you have to fit in a definite mold.
No matter what your choices are, you truly have no control about what people think of you.
Ballet is completely unnatural to the body, just being turned-out... it's not the way your body is supposed to function, so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with.
My issue in the past with nudity was that these scenes had been written solely for box office draw.
Everything about American politics makes me proud to be Canadian.
People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don't know him at all.
There's a feeling of elation that comes after getting off stage and then there's a feeling of utter sadness that comes after getting off the stage.
Dancing is hard on all bodies, but I particularly kept getting injured.
I actually do like scary movies. I used to hate scary movies. You know, when I was young, I saw 'The Changeling,' with George C. Scott, which I think is the scariest movie ever made. After I saw that, I swore I would never see a horror film again. Then I started making them.
I used to say I didn't regret dropping out of school because it's what I had to do. But I do feel it. There are certain conversations I feel excluded from. When people talk about Greek history, I just have to sit there and listen. I excuse myself from games of Trivial Pursuit.
Party of Five won a Golden Globe, it was a well-written television series.
I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films.
I'm just one of those people that if I sit down to watch a horror film, I put my hands over my face and I cry a lot and I don't see half of the film because I'm too upset.
Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.
I love New York. I love the multicultural vibe here. Los Angeles doesn't inspire me in any way. Everyone is in the same industry, yet you feel very isolated.
I've never been opposed to nudity. I've been opposed to nudity for box-office draw.
If you're in a company, you're dancing from 9 a.m. till 7 in the evening, and then you go home and get in a hot tub and get some Epsom salts and try to get your body goin' again. There's no social life, no anything.
It's almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words.
Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.
