Quotes
- “I don’t believe in doing everything and being mediocre at all of them. I believe in being good at one thing.”
- “I love the experiences I’m having with amazing actors. The more you learn, the more you realize how much more you have to learn. But I love the position I’m in right now. I’m at school. That’s how I feel in this profession: I’m in kindergarten.”
- “I used to love being part of dance companies that were obscure and different and outside the box and then I danced with Madonna, you know what I mean? Having variations in my choices is very important, and it’s all character-driven, relationship-driven within the story and story-driven.”
- “Acting has always been a strong force in my life, but it was hard to change direction. I didn’t make a paycheck for two years.”
