It's a bit of an outside-in approach - so often the clothing can reveal so much about a character. It's like part of her superhero costume that she gets to put on and become someone else.

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.

Even when I’m not working, I’m still working on something because I just want to create something.

I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.

I made things a lot harder than they needed to be out of fear and anxiety.

I'm used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that's all I've ever known. It's what I've done for 20 years, which is crazy.

I've done some TV and I've done a lot of theater, obviously, and the last character I played on Broadway was a very fast-talking broad. I'm used to learning material and words.

I feel like my life now, it's only getting better, which feels nice.

It's okay not to know everything; that would have calmed me down.

I am okay that has changed and I have some more wrinkles and my body is changing.

I don't know what I mean, but I know I believe it.

As a kid, I said, 'I want to write for movies.' When I finally had that opportunity it was like I was able to exhale. 'Wow, I'm finally doing this for real.'

You don't comb the mirror, you comb your own hair and the mirror changes.

I don't concern myself with award. I'd been to the party enough times to know it really didn't matter.

All any girl needs, at any time in history, is simple velvet and basic diamonds.

Basically, you can't make a pop culture reference now without someone saying it's Tarantino-esque or post-Tarantino and I'm like where's that all come from? It's ridiculous. But it's not his fault.

When a man loves a woman, he'll spend his very last dime tryin' to hold on to what he needs.

Better pointed bullets than pointed words.

God take care of him, because he's my past and my future

Rich people see every dollar as a "seed" that can be planted to earn a hundred more dollars, which can then be replanted to earn a thousand more dollars.
