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

I will push myself in different ventures that I believe will make me a better artist, dancer and person.

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 shouldn't even be wearing a tutu. I don't have the right legs, my muscles are too big.

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'm a classical ballet dancer, and at the end of the day I want to be with American Ballet Theater, performing classical ballets.

I know that I'll forever be involved in ballet. This is where my life was meant to be, and I don't see myself straying completely away, ever.
