I never experienced getting nervous on stage. I think I was most comfortable there.

I shouldn't even be wearing a tutu. I don't have the right legs, my muscles are too big.

What makes people and companies and artistic directors and choreographers interested in working with dancers is the ability to kind of let go of everything you think you know and be a blank canvas.

I will push myself in different ventures that I believe will make me a better artist, dancer and person.

It's difficult to exist as a woman, especially I think as a powerful woman. You want to stand strong and you want to be considered and equal.

The woman represents ballet. She is most important, powerful and vital to it. Therefore, she is not "less than" a man. If anything she is "more than" in this field.

I know that most of the time I have to work overtime to do everything that I want to.
