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.' ↗

Dancing for the length of time that I did, it centered me in such a way to be really in tune with my body, and I just feel like I'm physically able to do things because of my ballet background. Without ballet, I don't think I'd look graceful at all on screen. ↗

And it is always Easter Sunday at the New York City Ballet. It is always coming back to life. Not even coming back to life - it lives in the constant present. ↗

I copied my brother. He was a natural dancer. Graceful. People always asked did we study ballet. We never did. ↗

I went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough. ↗
