Maybe I'm seeing myself in a different way than the people in the audience see me, 'cause to me, I think I look like a ballerina and I feel like a ballerina. But maybe I'm not seeing what other people are seeing.

I learned how to communicate and articulate myself from ballet. It's just insane to me, when they don't think of that as a part of our education.

I think I'm pretty laid back. I like cooking, being at home, and going to concerts. And I love to shop!

Everything I was being shown was ABT, so I grew up watching these videos of [Mikhail] Baryshnikov, Gelsey [Kirkland] and Paloma [Herrera]. Paloma and Angel [Corella] were the first people I ever saw dance live.

I believe that I definitely developed into a refined and graceful woman due to ballet. It has shaped me in every way.

But I think the more you eat healthy clean foods the more you create them.

Once I became a professional, maybe 19 or 20, I really started to try to figure out who I was, as a woman and as an individual.
