Part English, Native American (Choctaw and Chickasaw) and African-American.

Graduated from Columbia University with a degree in English.

Studied at The Boston Ballet School from the age of four.

[on growing up in Jamaica Plain, Boston] One of the great things about growing up there was that it's so ethnically diverse, you didn't really pay attention to race. My dad is part Choctaw, Chickosaw and African American. I didn't realize the significance of not being white until I moved to LA.

I'm... a real nerd, in that I will take a book that is three inches thick and disappear and not leave until it's done.

In terms of withstanding incredible amounts of pain - both physical and emotional - I don't think there's any better training than ballet.
