I try to consider people's perspectives and not just my own.
Misty Copeland
I will never reach perfection.
Misty Copeland

I know I will never let myself be complacent in life.

Misty Copeland
My goal has always been to be a principal dancer with ABT.
Misty Copeland
I will never be the best dancer or artist. I will be growing until the day I retire.
Misty Copeland
Once I became a professional, maybe 19 or 20, I really started to try to figure out who I was, as a woman and as an individual.
Misty Copeland
Success is not easy and I think everyone should know that hard work and perseverance and being open to giving back are so much more powerful than stepping all over people to get to the top.
Misty Copeland
The word prodigy was thrown around a lot, but I didn't understand what that meant, or the weight of it. It didn't really mean anything to me, until I was older and could look back on it.
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
Without my mentors there is no Misty.
