I Had To Quit Ballet Because It

I Was A Ballet Dancer For So Long, But When I Realized I Had Reached My Limit And That I Couldn't Go Any Further I Knew I Wanted To Pursue Acting. That's One Thing You Don't Use As A Dancer - Your Voice. And The One Thing I Use Most In My Life Is My Voice So It's Wonderful To Get To Express Myself Artistically Through The Biggest Instrument I Use.

As A Woman, You Spend So Much Time Either Cooking Or Getting Ready To Go Somewhere. I Like To Have Music When I'm Doing Either Of These Things.

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.

The Biggest Battle That I Have Is Being A Woman In The World. That Takes Center Stage For Me.
