I regret that I didn't enjoy it all more. I didn't savour it until the end because I was so hard on myself. Life goes by so quickly. A dancer's career goes by so quickly. You've got to enjoy those moments when you know you've done your best.

Talent will only take you so far, and it is your ability to feel the music and explore a movement that will bring you the greatest pleasure in dance.

I know how demanding the process of creation is.

Canadians are very proud of me, of my career.

When I grow up I am going to be a ballerina. I will be in Giselle. It will be so much fun being a ballerina.
