Going on stage and doing ballet, for the first time, was even more verification of, "This is what I'm meant to do. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to make it somehow."

My first ballet class was on a basketball court. I'm in my gym clothes and my socks trying to do this thing called ballet.

I'm a pescatarian, so I don't eat red meat or pork. So my dinners usually consist of seafood in some way. And maybe cookies after!

I will never reach perfection.

I'm definitely very careful about the things that I want to be a part of, but it's also important for me to get dance out there to more people.

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.

My career came together very quickly. I only trained for four years before I became a professional, so I didn't have a lot of time to sit back and be inspired before I took my first ballet class.
