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

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.

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.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.

It's only in the United States that they make a big deal about nudity.

It's so much harder to keep your clothes on than take them off in this business. Even in Exotica, they wanted more nudity, but I didn't feel comfortable.

I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem.

In England, there are so many TV commercials with nudity in them, and there are so many TV programs that show nudity on a regular basis. It's becoming more of a norm.

Nudity... I have to say I will never do it again.

I'm not doing any more nudity.

Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. The nude is condemned to never being naked. Nudity is a form of dress.

At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!

The script was very explicit about the nudity that was supposed to be in the movie. Actually, they don't show everything we shot. They would cut here and it was floored. It was very embarrassing.

Even my parents are so cute, and they deal with every movie of mine excellently. They check with me ever so casually by asking 'Now how much of nudity are we going to see in this one?'

I've done nudity. I'm an exhibitionist. It doesn't matter.

I have no problem with nudity. I can look at myself. I like walking around nude. It doesn't bother me. I see all the people walking around nude; it doesn't bother me.

Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.

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

I always thought, because America is supposed to be the land of the free, nudity would be part of the norm over there, but it isn't. It's surprising.

I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.

I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different.

I honestly don't understand the big fuss made over nudity and sex in films. It's silly.

Nudity is who people are at the most interesting point of the evening, when they take off their protective layer, when no one is watching.

I avoided nudity unless a film couldn't be told without those scenes. If you look at my films, few of them have that element, yet nudity and male fantasies have become emblematic of my work.

Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud.

I've never done any nudity, but I would do basically anything if a role called for it.

I've done nudity in lots of things before. It's something that's never particularly bothered me.

There's the theory that nudity doesn't really make something sexy; the characters and their relationship make it sexy.
