It's very cool to be able to say that my first real film was 'Footloose' and my second film I got to star alongside Tom Cruise and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Friends are the best therapy.
I’m actually pretty good at stripping, which makes me wonder what happened in my previous life. Funny enough, I don’t wear a lot of clothes when I dance and it’s very sexy, so it wasn’t too hard to get into the motion of it.
I'm very blessed and I don't take anything for granted. I think if you alienate people and just focus on your work then it just becomes lonely and it's not fun anymore.
When you dance on your own there is something so magical and so special.
If I'm like, 'Oh, this is not something that I want to do,' that means I have to do it. That's always a good motivation.
I've always had God, but now I want to go back to church for the sense of community and that feeling of positive thinking, a place where I can think about being a better person.
I keep saying this about a mental state, but the more that I am physically active, the more that my mind is clear.
If I had been living through the '80s, I probably would've gotten into a lot more trouble than my parents.
Acting is like free therapy! Trying to make people laugh or cry can be inspiring.
I'd get invited to parties, and instead it would be these abandoned houses.
I've got the Rosebud lip balm. I was gonna say my phone but that's not a beauty product. I try to bring my mascara everywhere because I'm a blonde and you know blondes have really light eyelashes, you always wanna put more and more on til they look like spiders, that's just what I do. And that's about it. Those are the two things that I keep. Sometimes if I have a big enough purse I'll bring my perfume or something. Right now I really like Beaute, it's by Johan B. and it's really nice, so I like that.
My first dance ever on 'Dancing With the Stars' was to 'Let's Hear it for the Boy.'
There was a time when my mum would sew costumes for the dance studio so we could keep doing our classes because we couldn't afford them.
