I try my best to really think about things before I react and respond.

There are muscles that we have in our feet that most human beings don't even know that we have. The strength that we have is so detailed.

I will never be the best dancer or artist. I will be growing until the day I retire.

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.

When you see the body outside of a costume and see the strength that it takes, people would look at dance a different way and see how athletic it is. You're not just born like that.

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.

The higher you go up in rank, usually the longer you can dance.
