I think if I hadn’t had the dance background, it would have been much harder as a kid to be like, ‘I’m going to be an actress.’ But you’re involved with one area of the arts and other things interest you. It feels like an easier move.

As a kid, I didn’t read a great deal of fiction, and I’ve forgotten most of what I did read.
