More quotes by Misty Copeland
I don't believe in dieting, I don't believe in having certain moments in your life where you're healthy and then moments when you're like, I'm going to eat whatever I want. It's just finding what works for your body and always eating healthy.
Misty Copeland
I will never be the best dancer or artist. I will be growing until the day I retire.
Misty Copeland
My goal has always been to be a principal dancer with ABT.
Misty Copeland
Different mentors throughout my life have supported and guided me to remember that I do have the strength, courage and talent to do whatever I want to do.
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.
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
The fact that I was African American was never addressed, and that allowed me to just be a student, like anyone else. I was not aware of how rare it was to be an African American, how rare it was to have four years of training under my belt, and how, even though I could imitate people and fake it, unprepared I was to become a professional.
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
Just to get into a company like ABT is a dream come true, but to have all of these opportunities on top of it, I don't think it will hit me until I'm 70. I'll be like, Oh, my god, remember that amazing life you had? It's an incredible honor to be a part of something like ABT.
Misty Copeland
Without my mentors there is no Misty.
Misty Copeland
I think that training is the key, definitely, and I devoted my life to it.
Misty Copeland
I think I always felt a connection to music and to movement. Growing up, I was surrounded by R&B and Hip-Hop, and the closest thing I could find to dance was gymnastics which I watched on TV.
Misty Copeland
My career came together very quickly. I only trained for four years before I became a professional, so I didn't have a lot of time to sit back and be inspired before I took my first ballet class.
Misty Copeland
I just try to approach every opportunity on stage, as if it's my first time and my last time.
Misty Copeland
I shouldn't even be wearing a tutu. I don't have the right legs, my muscles are too big.
Misty Copeland
Something happens when you feel that energy and excitement from the audience. And you do, I don't know, four pirouettes. You jump higher than you ever have. And it's just this really magical thing that happens in those moments.
Misty Copeland
But I think the more you eat healthy clean foods the more you create them.
Misty Copeland
I've gotten nothing but warmth from the Black community and positive feedback.
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 know I will never let myself be complacent in life.
