I always look for roles that make me feel good about being a girl. I,have to say that there are a lot of roles out there that make me feel,really bad about being a girl. You can imagine what the things are and,I shall not go into detail.
Know a good song to work out to? "I Will Survive".
I like pretty conservative guys, good guys. I always look for the,qualities I find in my father.
I love it if a man makes an effort to get to know my parents and,sisters. Getting to know the people who matter to me goes a long way.
When I stopped doing ballet, I started training in the pool. I would do,my barre exercises in the water, because that prevents injuries.
When I was little, I had a feeling that I was going to end up being an,actress. I spent a lot of time alone, I was a very shy girl, and I,would pretend I was telling someone about this new role that I got.
But I take all other kinds of classes: I take jazz classes, modern,classes, and I love doing that instead of going to the gym. The gym is,not very much fun.
