“No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' A...” — Elizabeth Berkley Quote

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it, I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

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.

I think often times when people choose to be part of a charity; it's usually because something is very personal.

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.

For many people, the age of 20 is when they first reach adulthood, and it's a time full of ideals and dreams. But when I was 20, a lot of misfortune came along. I spent a year in the hospital and couldn't move, and I was forced to think a lot.

The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams.

Strivers achieve what dreamers believe.

A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don't have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.
