I'm very aware, but I'm very naïve. When you are really naïve and expecting safety and expecting the best, you don't feel you're taking risks.

Dance is an art that imprints on the soul. It is with you every moment, it expresses itself in everything you do.

I've been through so much of my own self-search that I'm not as consumed with who I am as I used to be.

Ballet is the repetitive training of the body for the purpose of executing steps in traditional fashion. It is tied to and bound by the past. It is a disciplined beauty consciously preserved in the image of the old days in societies that were class-conscious and appreciative of elitist physical expertise.

We humans should never forget our capacity to connect with the collective spirit of animals. Their energy is essential to our future growth.
