I hated being compared to anybody.
When people meet me, and I'm generally pretty sociable, and I meet some definition of normal, they're almost surprised. And simultaneously disappointed.
I was, like, a really embarrassing, precocious child.
What's a dancer's worst enemy? Sometimes it's age, but sometimes it's the dancer themselves.
For me, there are worse things than being pigeonholed as the nice guy.
When I was younger, most people thought my lips looked like Tweety Bird's - there were always comments like that from family and neighbors.
People judge us looking from the outside. They don't really know what is going on in my life. There are hundreds of perspectives out there. I cannot live up to all the expectations.
One day you are a hero, the next day, media and people put you down if you are not giving your best.
I have a hard time watching the shows now. It is like opening up a yearbook when you were in junior high. I think everybody looks back at their photos and cringe, and I get to experience it with everybody else in the world looking at mine.
Nobody likes my hair blonde!
Embarrassment and awkward situations are not foreign things to me.
I work with young people, and I know that we must be careful. Newspaper headlines, sudden notoriety, and important comparisons can lead to confusion.
I was told, 'You are not beautiful and glamorous enough,' 'Oh no, you're too serious an actor...' 'You're not good enough an actor,' 'You are not so and so's daughter.' I was even told, 'You are not a big, marketable name.'
There are worse things than being called 'the camel lady,' I suppose.
