Finding out I was pretty was a very nice realisation.

Writing down goals makes you think of what is achievable. It really makes you reflect on what you are today.

Because of my childhood where I was constantly by myself, I always feel lonely. I have a lot of people that I absolutely love and I know love me but I can't get rid of that feeling of loneliness no matter who I'm with - even with my children.

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 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.

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

When you become a mother, you think less about yourself and care more about the world.
