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

Going on stage and transcending the audience and becoming this otherworldly thing makes you a dancer. It's not so black and white.

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.

I think I'm pretty laid back. I like cooking, being at home, and going to concerts. And I love to shop!

To be an artist and to be recognized by another artist who is, you know, just something you can't even put into words, someone that is so far beyond what the normal human being experience is in terms of creativity and originality. That was kind of a moment where I thought wow maybe I do have something more that makes me special.

Hopefully, I'll be a part of ABT, in some way, forever. I think I'll always be a part of ballet and try to push diversity, for as long as I live.

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