“I feel incredibly passionate about 'Bunheads,' but the network was not supportive of the show, and you have to have that.”

“One of the things I admire most about millennials is they celebrate individualism, and their singularity is encouraged. To be different is to be cool as opposed to weird.”

“I'm like a little Pollyanna. I look at the world with rose-colored glasses.”

“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 think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.”

“And, as an adult, I tried skiing, and I ended up in tears.”

“I have my little craft bag that I bring with me to set everywhere I go.”

“I've been, like, 15 my entire life.”

“So I'm studying ballet every day and really training so people will see me as a ballet dancer, which no one's seen before.”

“Ballet is an incredibly difficult, beautiful art form that takes a lot of training, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.”

“I try to have a very optimistic outlook on life. I try not to take anything too seriously. I try to - and I do - find a ton of joy and happiness in my life, and I think that helps you stay youthful.”

“I know there's Botox and all these skin-firming treatments, but I'm afraid they'll make me look weird.”

“I was a very outgoing, gregarious, full-of-energy kid.”
