I really felt it was time for a new vision.

Know that there is so much more to you than your body. It's not just about perfecting the steps; you must trust your instincts to tell deep, emotional stories through the steps that you are performing.

In my life, there have always been people who guided my path, towards the school, towards this company. I didn't know about any of it. I didn't have a plan. It's good fortune and generosity from other people that have given me all I have today.

Dancers, like all performing artists, like nothing better than to be challenged.

I know how demanding the process of creation is.

What's a dancer's worst enemy? Sometimes it's age, but sometimes it's the dancer themselves.

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.
