fun thinking long
I'm not really much of a genre guy. I think that audiences don't need that anymore where you just need a very specific genre. Audiences are very sophisticated, and as long as it's fun, it's okay and entertaining.
religious new-shoes ballet
Ballet really lends itself to that because there's such a sense of ritual, with wrapping the shoes every day and preparing new shoes for every performance. It's such a process. It's almost religious, in nature.
nice ears world
I have nice ears. I have no lobes, which was disappointing for a while, but I've gotten over it and learned to love them. Being lobeless isn't the end of the world
intellectual sides actors
There is a lot lacking on the intellectual side and on the values side when being an actor.
love-is control-myself choices
Love is very much perceived as "I couldn't control myself; it's love." But you can. Everything you do in response is a choice.
sacred persons
Committing yourself to one person is sacred.
facts film excited
The fact that audiences have come away moved, excited, entertained and stimulated by the film is extraordinarily flattering.
dream real class
I was really into dancing, taking six classes a week, and my real dream was to be in a Broadway show.
love-life practice decision
Part of my reason for being vegetarian was because it practices respect and love for life all through the day, so three times a day, you make a decision to eat things that have not been killed.
role-models roles feels
I also feel I'm a positive role model by not putting my education on hold.
parent looks wanted
As I look back on it, I'm glad that I had this false image. I was who everyone else - my parents, my friends, society - wanted me to be. I was a pleaser, someone who wanted to make everyone happy, to not let anyone down. Now, I'm not like that.
falling-in-love mean thinking
Sure. I've never dated a woman of anything like that, But, I mean, I think it's much more the person that you fall in love with – and why would you close yourself off to fifty percent of the people?
They tell me: 'OK, this is where we're going to push up your cleavage,' and I'm like, 'What cleavage?'
I remember how to be a person by being around them.
