By Sabina Bloom MOST What work do you feel has shaped your career the greatest? DANIKA Honestly, the fact that I’ve been so lucky to play with such different characters in my work has been, and is what continues to shape it. Photography by Sami Drasin www.samidrasin.com MOST MOST You stated in an interview with Bellus Magazine that dance is, “A great way to let loose and express yourself.” Is dance still a part of your life? What characteristics of the individuals that you are currently playing do you see in yourself ? How do you get into character? DANIKA DANIKA It definitely is! I mean I’m not a competition dancer anymore, and with work and all, I have less time for it, but I still try to fit in a class or two whenever I get the chance. Once a dancer, always a dancer! It will always be one of my favorite forms of expression. Well, with Malina for instance, she’s at an age where she’s rapidly learning things about herself and where she fits in to the world. There are responsibilities to take on at a much larger level and at the same time she’s learning to find a balance between strength, courage, and vulnerability. That’s something with her that I really connect with. The point of acting is to tell the truth at all times, no matter the circumstances. So I always look for similarities between a character and myself or shared personal experiences and I play the truth. 86 // CELEBRITY MAGAZINE // O C T O B E R 2 015
