Dance is certainly a sport, and they are phenomenal athletes, and they're also artists.
Neve Campbell
Dancing is hard on all bodies, but I particularly kept getting injured.
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.
Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.
People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don't know him at all.
I never wanted to be an actor. It was something I found a passion for; it wasn't there immediately.
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 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.
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.
I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films.
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.
Party of Five won a Golden Globe, it was a well-written television series.
My issue in the past with nudity was that these scenes had been written solely for box office draw.
Everything about American politics makes me proud to be Canadian.
No matter what your choices are, you truly have no control about what people think of you.
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.
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've never been opposed to nudity. I've been opposed to nudity for box-office draw.
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.
It's almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words.
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 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.
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.
I don't know how people can live without a therapist.
I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am.
The first 'Scream' was great for me in some ways, but in others it was... a challenge.
People did pigeonhole me.
We may not realise it, but dancing is a form of meditation.
I'm a socialist.
I've been very sensible with the money I made, and I did make good money.
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.
Sometimes emotions just come out in their own way.
I think you can actually express a lot more in ways without words.
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 keep to myself a lot, I guess.
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.'
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.
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 had to deal with several stalkers and a lot of strange letters.
