I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films.

Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.

I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am.

Party of Five won a Golden Globe, it was a well-written television series.

It's almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words.

No matter what your choices are, you truly have no control about what people think of you.

There's a feeling of elation that comes after getting off stage and then there's a feeling of utter sadness that comes after getting off the stage.

If you're in a company, you're dancing from 9 a.m. till 7 in the evening, and then you go home and get in a hot tub and get some Epsom salts and try to get your body goin' again. There's no social life, no anything.

People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don't know him at all.

There's something really nice about not sitting separate from the crew in some massive trailer away from the studio. To actually be there with them, it's more of a creative process.

My issue in the past with nudity was that these scenes had been written solely for box office draw.

Dance is certainly a sport, and they are phenomenal athletes, and they're also artists.

I'm just one of those people that if I sit down to watch a horror film, I put my hands over my face and I cry a lot and I don't see half of the film because I'm too upset.

There are very few dance companies in the world and you have to be phenomenal. You have to not be injured. You have to have a really strong mind to deal with the dance world. People who can do it are amazing to me. You cannot have a life outside of dance.

You're being cast for your acting ability. It's not based on the way your body functions. If you're playing a lead in a movie, it's for that character and they'll tailor it to you. In a dance company, you have to fit in a definite mold.

I don't know how people can live without a therapist.

Ballet is completely unnatural to the body, just being turned-out... it's not the way your body is supposed to function, so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with.

Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.

I've never been opposed to nudity. I've been opposed to nudity for box-office draw.

I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films.

I love New York. I love the multicultural vibe here. Los Angeles doesn't inspire me in any way. Everyone is in the same industry, yet you feel very isolated.

The first time I ever screamed at someone was in a scene, and I'd never screamed at someone in my life.

Ballet is completely unnatural to the body just being turned out... its not the way your body is supposed to function so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with.

No one gave a crap that I was the kid from 'Free Willy'. You're not in some wispy fantasyland where everyone's telling you 'yes' all the time, which happens a lot to actors.

Any work of architecture which does not express serenity is a mistakes.

I think I give the impression of being a romantic, and I think inside I'm quite severe. But some might say they had the opposite impression of me.

A lot of people call me gay because they don't see me with anyone.

The most important lesson I've learned is how rich and rewarding life is when one can engage in meaningful work, whether on the job or outside of work.

I'd come out to Los Angeles for a vacation to see a friend and just fell in love with it.

Plagiarism brings on bad karma and may lead to reincarnation as a bad piece of art or, worse, a bad politician.

I was so inspired by Beverly Cleary's funny and wonderful books.

I'm running a radio station.

The whites are the same everywhere. I see them every day.

The president and I sat down in the Oval Office, and he expressed very clearly that what he wants from me is my best professional military advice.

Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.

My style kinda comes from the music I listen to.

I'm single. I just moved to a new city. I'm sort of starting over. I'm in Los Angeles. I don't really know what my life is right now. It's not what I thought it'd be at 37, and I think a lot of people can relate to that.

If you write a hit song for Britney Spears, it's worth several million dollars. Just one song! And it might have taken you two hours to do it. It's like mining for gold. It takes a lot of skill and a lot of technique.

I think running a business, doing what I've done for the last - since 1996, has taught me so many things because I started from just an idea and then had to figure out how to make it, market it, every single thing from soup to nuts on how to get a product done and out there.

I think nowadays, women are breaking the borders or the boundaries and also trying to give a new interpretation in terms of impact you can have to the society.

Not knowing the thing that's chasing you is a lot scarier than seeing it right in front of you.

Life satisfaction essentially measures cheerful moods, so it is not entitled to a central place in any theory that aims to be more than a happiology.

As far back as I can remember, I had an interest in fashion. I used to go to sleepaway camp, and they'd provide a list of things that you had to bring, and I always wanted to be a bit more creative than the list allowed. Like, if they required chinos, I wanted to hand-paint them.

Let's make hay while it lasts.

I learned about the strength you can get from a close family life. I learned to keep going even in bad times. I learned not to despair even when my world was falling apart. I learned that there are no free lunches. And I learned the value of hard work.

If you eat a balanced diet you get all the vitamins and minerals you need and you don't need any supplement and overdosing can actually be more harmful.

Breaking of norms and disregard for decency have huge long term costs.
