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.

That it's possible to do positive things and I think that's how we're going to set an example to be respected as women in the world.

I was 17 when I moved to NYC . I'm now 32. But I do know I can't see myself living anywhere else. I love the food, the fashion, art, the intelligence of this city and the people that live in it.

The path to your success is not as fixed and inflexible as you think.

The best piece of advice that I remember probably on a daily basis is to accept everything about me that is different. That is what makes me special.

I think that training is the key, definitely, and I devoted my life to it.

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