ballet body came consider fake learn learned skills stories
I come from a ballet background; I did ballet for 12 years and I consider that my theater. I told stories with my body for 12 years and then came into this industry.

I was very scared going in, but also really excited about doing a film using my body again. I like that she never spoke. This character, she was very quiet, but she was telling her story through her body. It's a very physical role.
door everybody grateful great house instantly intentions knew maybe offered opened option saturday sit therefore thinking walked wearing women
I was told to go to a director's house at 9 p.m. on a Saturday night, so I went, thinking maybe this is the kind of thing you do. He opened the door wearing pajamas. I walked in, and he offered me a drink. I instantly knew what his intentions were, and it was not an option for me. I feel grateful I have this personality, but a lot of women don't. That's why I can't sit back and say, 'Things are great for me, therefore they're great for everybody else.'

It's a horrid, horrid smell and you kind of get used to it after a while, but the first time we went in there, it was really noisy and we were a little concerned about that and then I was more concerned about the smell, because it was just so strong. One of the mine consultants turned to me and said, 'That's the smell of money,' and I was like, I'll just think of it that way.
extremely foreign genre good jump rarely service sign sit took understand
It took me awhile, to be honest, because this was so extremely foreign to me. I had never done anything in the genre and I didn't feel like an expert. So, it took me a while to sit with Karyn and understand how I was going to service this. I very rarely jump into something and go, 'Oh, my God, I know I have to do this.' And, that's usually a good sign for me.
