I actually do like scary movies. I used to hate scary movies. You know, when I was young, I saw 'The Changeling,' with George C. Scott, which I think is the scariest movie ever made. After I saw that, I swore I would never see a horror film again. Then I started making them.Collection: Movies
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.Collection: Amazing
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.
Oh, 'Wild Things.' I haven't seen it since it came out! But you know, it was a fun romp. We had a really good time.
It's almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words.
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'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.
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.
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.
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.
Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.
The first time I ever screamed at someone was in a scene, and I'd never screamed at someone in my life.
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.
I don't want to carry a network show. I don't want to give up 10 months, working 17 hours a day, up at five in the morning.
I wasn't very good a communicating as a kid. I wasn't very good at speaking my mind, and I went through some challenges as a kid with my family, as we all do.
I think it's incredibly important to spend the first year with your child, and it should be made possible for all women.
I do, in some senses, feel that Hollywood and Washington are similar in that, first of all, they are, again, male-dominated worlds, which is not unusual. There are a lot of industries like that, but also, there's a lot of politics when it comes to the ins and outs of getting things done, getting a film made.
I got tired of Los Angeles, and I got tired of the game a bit. I wanted to have a different life experience, so I moved to England, and I lived in England for eight years, and I worked there.
I, as a mom, wanted to be really present for my son in the first couple of years, because I know that those years are very important for a kid. So I decided not to work during that period.
I always vowed I would never get married because no marriage in my family had worked, really. But you get to a place in your relationship where you're like, 'OK, it's time.'
The grunge thing was a little bit atrocious. 'Let's all put on plaid shirts and be as dirty as possible!'
There's nothing comparable to as 'in shape' as a professional dancer. You'd have to train eight hours a day for that.
I think a dream date for me is some kind of fantastic conversation where you end up learning something really wonderful about a person.
I used to say I didn't regret dropping out of school because it's what I had to do. But I do feel it. There are certain conversations I feel excluded from. When people talk about Greek history, I just have to sit there and listen. I excuse myself from games of Trivial Pursuit.

If you can see life as a learning experience, you can turn any negative into a positive.Collection: Negative
When I look back on it now, I am so glad that the one thing that I had in my life was my belief that everything in life is a learning experience, whether it be positive or negative. If you can see it as a learning experience, you can turn any negative into a positive.Collection: Being Positive
I think teenagers in the States grow up too fast. In Canada, kids are exposed to different things. Like school is very different; it's not nearly as social. Canadian teenagers see it as a much more serious place.Collection: Growing Up
