I have made enough money to secure my family and that is all I care about.

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 missed quite a lot of school because I was working from the age of 11.

I love Yves Saint Laurent and Giambattista Valli and Givenchy and I get given quite a lot, but perhaps nothing is as wonderful as the white fake leather trench coat I got when I was 15.

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

If you are ambitious you can have a moment of glory but it will most likely be temporary. But talent always finds its way out.

When I remember my life in Russia it is in totally dark colours.
