And, as an adult, I tried skiing, and I ended up in tears.

I was a very outgoing, gregarious, full-of-energy kid.

Ballet is an incredibly difficult, beautiful art form that takes a lot of training, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.

I just don't crave junk food.

My last days at MGM were like the fall of the Roman Empire in fast motion.
