I was raised on Broadway because of my dad, but I never thought I had what it took to make it there, although I always wanted to.
Practically everyone in Hollywood has a neighbor who's been famous, wants to be famous, is famous, has been married to someone famous, worked with someone famous, slept with someone famous, been blackmailed by someone famous.
I've always been a defiant little animal - always very much my own person.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
Anyone who thinks I'm a plastic-surgery freak is insane.
I wasn't a dancer learning to play Baby Houseman. I was Baby Houseman learning to play a dancer. I was someone who'd never done any Latin dance. I'd taken jazz classes and ballet growing up in New York, so I had dance in me, and I knew I loved it, but I'd never done a dance audition.
If you try to hold on to something you don't have anymore, you can't be happy in the moment.
I have sung, but I haven't sung in any way that I would ever call myself 'a singer.'
If my dancing is a disaster - it doesn't define me as a person.
I just don't get that new hot music. I don't know anything about all these groups like U2.
Chronic pain can be very lonely. It can have a shame-based quality.
I hope that I'll be able to have kids with a mate. But I don't know if that's in the plan.
I'm ticking things off my list: I had a tumor removed; I had spinal surgery; I had four surgeries in three months.
I'd had a really bad car accident years ago, and basically, the ligaments in the back of my neck were ripped, and I'd never addressed that.
