Oh yeah, dancing's part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.
I'm from a working-class family. We didn't have a lot, but we had the arts. You're talking to a guy who is making a living at doing what he loves doing - acting, singing and dancing. So any career ups and downs were not that significant to me; the only things that really powerfully impinged on me were my losses, and there were many in my life.
Most people forget that you have to create relationships. The allure of the first years settles down, and at that moment, you better start creating it; otherwise, you're going to lose out.
I was suited for fame, and I mean that in the most non-egocentric way. I don't mind gearing my life towards privacy. It's my nature.
I would really love to do it here. We're just at home and as happy as we can be here.
There's no reason why a film shouldn't choose Florida. But the incentive matters.
It would be another side game to play.
I wanted my own little airliner in the backyard, ... I'd have my girlfriends use their Brownie uniforms to be the flight attendants, and I was the captain and they would have to pretend they were serving people.
Scientology is one of the least homophobic religions. It's not very interested in the body at all.
We really had a commitment to the firefighters to finally get this movie right. Especially after September 11. We really wanted to put our best foot forward and kind of leave our egos at the door and really be what these guys are, which are a lot of selfless wonderful men and women that want to help,
Those are usually your better parts because you're not worried about the likeability, ... I think it's a great movie because of the idea that we're not afraid to be at moments unappealing and true to those people who are drinkers and are not always in the best mood. And they're often wicked. And they're sometimes emotional.
I love Scientology. I've been involved for 38 years, and I don't think I'd be here without it because I've had a lot of losses and different negative things that have happened over the years and it really got me through brilliantly.
I'm realizing that for so much of my life I had an older viewpoint; I saw things as an older person. That's common among change-of-life babies. So I have this dichotomy where I'm either, like, super young or feel like I'm coming to the end of my years.
I learned early on to stay away from gossip magazines and reviews. That stuff just makes you unhappy, and I know actors that read everything that's written about them and they're miserable. You can choose what to let into your life.
