The particular ballet was not so important as the fact that I was physically healthy, and capable of getting out there and dancing as often as possible.

Eating a healthy diet is not just about eating a few special foods. There's a bigger picture. You need to practice moderation, eat a variety of foods, and get enough physical activity.

Of course, in the art class, I was the model.

I could work out a lot of my emotions by going to class and dancing.

The body can do amazing things in a situation when it is really called for.

The arts are the hospitals for our souls.

I was very happy that I was as normal as possible before I went into serious dance.
