Do not brood. It makes the moment you are living in unavailable for learning and life.

Even though I am a professional, and I know what the steps are, I don't quite know how I'm going to do them, because I haven't lived that moment yet. I always feel very insecure and I get very excited.

Dancers are a great breed of people. And they really want to dance so you don't have to beg them to work. However, dancers sometimes build walls around themselves because they are presenting themselves all the time: dancing is very much a confession.

I loved tests because it was another form of competing, a healthy competition.

On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life.

I didn't have any doubts about my choice of career, but I had constant doubts about my ability, yes.

Once I started dancing, I was not the spoiled brat or the rebellious child that I was as a child.
