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

I just try to approach every opportunity on stage, as if it's my first time and my last time.

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.

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

Without my mentors there is no Misty.

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.
