I think that I'm so fortunate to have found classical ballet. It completely changed my life and it shaped the person that I am today, on and off the stage.

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.

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

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

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.

Physical fears change and shift depending on the role and depending on the mindset I'm in.
