Sometimes I just need to switch off.

Before I left Russia in 1999, I was living in a very poor factory town with my family and friends, and nothing was ever going to change.

The secret to applying my makeup is that I just put it where it's needed.

If we're talking about being skinny or losing weight, I don't have that problem; it's genetics.

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.

I know what it's like not to have food in the fridge or money to buy more.

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.
