More quotes by Misty Copeland
I remind myself everyday just how lucky I am to do what I love! I feel so fortunate and I'm just trying to take my life one day at a time.
Misty Copeland
I was 17 when I moved to NYC . I'm now 32. But I do know I can't see myself living anywhere else. I love the food, the fashion, art, the intelligence of this city and the people that live in it.
Misty Copeland
Ballet.something pure in this crazy world
Misty Copeland
You're always working to improve, and you're always being critiqued on your next performance. It's not about what you've done. There's always room to grow.
Misty Copeland
I learned how to communicate and articulate myself from ballet. It's just insane to me, when they don't think of that as a part of our education.
Misty Copeland
I know I will never let myself be complacent in life.
Misty Copeland
My body is very different from most of the dancers I dance with. My hair is different than most I dance with. But I didn't let that stop me. Black girls rock and can be ballerinas.
Misty Copeland
I just try to approach every opportunity on stage, as if it's my first time and my last time.
Misty Copeland
The woman represents ballet. She is most important, powerful and vital to it. Therefore, she is not less than a man. If anything she is more than in this field.
Misty Copeland

I will never reach perfection.
Misty Copeland
That it's possible to do positive things and I think that's how we're going to set an example to be respected as women in the world.
Misty Copeland

Misty Copeland
I think anything that affects me in my personal life is going to help me be a better artist on stage.
Misty Copeland
I don't think every African-American or Latino have the same body type, but, yes, that's been one of the excuses ... saying that African-Americans are too muscular or just aren't lean enough. Usually they say, Oh, they have flat feet so they just don't have the flexibility that it takes to create the line in a point shoe.
Misty Copeland
My goal has always been to be a principal dancer with ABT.
Misty Copeland
I was aware of my race from a very young age. Not in a negative way. Coming from an interracial background, I think it is important to understand who you are.
Misty Copeland
I think that training is the key, definitely, and I devoted my life to it.
Misty Copeland
I haven’t come from the typical path or background of someone who would make it to this level as a ballerina. When it came to my childhood-growing up in a single-parent home, often struggling financially-my mother definitely instilled in me and my siblings this strength, this will, to just continue to survive and succeed.
Misty Copeland
I'm a classical ballet dancer, and at the end of the day I want to be with American Ballet Theater, performing classical ballets.
