Take advantage of the resources around you and the relationships you build!

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

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

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 don't feel like my life is that of a superstar! Every day I wake up, I take the train, I go to my ballet class. My everyday life is pretty normal.

I had no idea what I was walking into, and the years and years of hard work it would take. I felt like an outsider and like it was never going to happen. But even if I would have known, I think I still would have done it. Dancers are perfectionists, and that's what keeps us going and growing.

I feel like I represent every young dancer, and even non-dancer, who felt they were not accepted by the ballet world. I'd like to think that they can see themselves in me.
