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.

Treasure the things about you that make you different and unique.

Canadians are very proud of me, of my career.

Surround yourself with people who provide you with support and love and remember to give back as much as you can in return.

You're terrified that nothing will ever give you the fulfillment that dancing has given you.

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.

There's nothing like the force and challenge of a new ballet to galvanize everyone involved in bringing it to life.
