We all have our own purpose in life and I feel very strongly that I have a bigger purpose than giving to just my immediate family and friends.

When I'm down on energy, I have these superfoods powders with supergreens, algae, spirulina, and wheat germ extract. Sometimes I have a course of vitamins. For example, in autumn I'm going to start shots of B12 and biotin. For me this is really important because I travel so much. My lifestyle is quite challenging and this is something that supplements me before winter starts, which is a difficult time for your body.

I learnt early to have little expectation so I protected myself from ever feeling greatly disappointed.

I don't want to have strong arms, like you get from Pilates or yoga. But dancing arms become your best accessory. And it's great for your core muscles.

I live a very different life now, with incredible privileges, but looking back I realise that growing up in Russia gave me tools that other people don't necessarily have - such as the will to push that bit further, to make things happen, to succeed.

I was born in Nizhny Novgorod to a very poor family and unfortunately my father and mother separated when I was very little.

It's better to be skinny than to be fat.
