I do think Under Armour is setting a new example for what a ballerina is, and that you can be feminine and an athlete and represent what a woman is at the same time.

I try to consider people's perspectives and not just my own.

Once I became a professional, maybe 19 or 20, I really started to try to figure out who I was, as a woman and as an individual.

Ballet found me. I was discovered by a teacher in middle school. I always danced, my whole life. I never had any training, never was exposed to seeing dance, but I always had something inside of me.

The word "prodigy" was thrown around a lot, but I didn't understand what that meant, or the weight of it. It didn't really mean anything to me, until I was older and could look back on it.

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

I definitely like to be natural and more relaxed and not wear a lot of makeup.
