A biography for Elizabeth Berkleyhasn’t been written yet.
“I noticed that no matter where I went in the country, there was this group of questions that got asked. I would track them and keep them in categories. Like body image, school, family, friendship, you name it, the emotional life of a teenage girl.”
“For me, as an actress, being a dancer has helped me. I've done it with my feet bloody.”
“I had to make some drastic choices to avoid losing myself.”
“Ask Elizabeth is a community of voices, it's not me standing on a podium telling people how to run their lives, it's girls helping each other sharing their wisdom and advice and I create a space for them to do it.”
“I will never forget experiencing Venice for the first time. It feels like you are transported to another time - the art, music, food and pure romance in the air is like no other place.”
“There's some great women doing TV. I would love to do a Grey's Anatomy-type show. I'm a big fan.”
“I was raised really, really healthy, pretty much vegetarian and a very clean lifestyle, I don't smoke, I don't drink. I'm more addicted to the things that make me feel good - endorphins after working out.”
“Girls are so often pitted against each other as enemies or adversaries. We even see it in 'Us' magazine: Who wore it better?”
“I get enough sleep. I take very good care of myself. Growing up as a dancer, you know your body so well, you know what to do to overcome something.”
“I needed to find my own worth and shake the image after having done 'Showgirls' at age 21.”
“I don't think people have seen yet what I can really do. Only appetizers!”
“I just love creating an environment where people can open up and say what's on their mind and in their heart.”
“My mission is to give girls the tools to be able to blossom into their best selves.”
“I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing.”
“I'd love to play a rock star in a movie, but for now, I'm not performing in public.”
“No one can hand you anything as a dancer. You have to earn it.”
“I had to work out where I was going, what type of films I wanted to make. For that reason, I decided to choose independent productions, less important roles, and I tried theater, too.”
“One thing I've learned: My intentions are clear in terms of quality.”
“I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I've never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you're not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.”
“I tell girls, 'If you're tall and feel too tall, the answer is to be taller.'”
