But when my grandmother saw me plucking [my eyebrows] she said: 'Don't. You will regret it. One day you will wake up with no eyebrows and think how stupid you were. Your eyebrows are the most beautiful thing about you.'

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.

Moscow is a huge inspiration for me. I love what I find here, I love being here.

I do modern jazz and contemporary combined. I like to feel strong, flexible, and so there is stretching involved.

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 don't mind being called Supernova. If one nickname is going to stick, that's not a bad one!
