I wonder what it would be like if we all became what we wanted to be when we grew up? I mean, imagine a world filled with nothing but firemen, cowboys, nurses and ballerinas.
Lily Tomlin

When one lifts a ballerina, it is not her weight but her nature that causes the problem.
Maris Liepa
Image
I'm still trying to change the way people see black dancers that we can become delicate dancers, that we can be a ballerina.
Michaela DePrince
Image
A lot of people think, Oh I'm going to eat whatever I want and then go to the gym. And I've definitely been one of those people and it just doesn't give me the results that I need to have the physique of a ballerina.
Misty Copeland

A real ballerina must fill her space with her own personality.
Natalia Makarova
Image
I was a ballerina for 10 years growing up, but I stopped.
Amy Smart

At school I had a really hard time being a guitar player. It’s like being a male ballerina in a way. It’s not the norm.
Orianthi
Image
I wanted to be a ballerina so badly. You can be seen and take over the spotlight without speaking. I had a fear of speaking in public back then.
April Bowlby

I was a ballerina. I had to quit after I injured a groin muscle. It wasn't mine.
Rita Rudner

I don't believe in average people doing anything [about the climate]. People outght to support mitigation and adaptation within their own line of work, no matter how un-average that is. I mean: if you're a butcher, baker, ballerina, banker, or a plumber, envision yourself as the post-fossil-fuel version of yourself, and get right after it

[Princess Margaret] was loud, an extrovert, an exhibitionist, loved fashion, loved color, loved music, loved drama, loved the theater, wanted to be a ballerina or actress, was always the little one putting on the school plays, and [princess] Elizabeth reluctantly did it and got stage fright.
Vanessa Kirby

You’re just jealous of me because I’m a tap-dancing ballerina fairy princess veterinarian!
Daniel Handler

Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band. Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man. Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand.
Elton John

You've got to break through this idea of being light as a ballerina. The heavier you'll feel, the lighter you'll look.
Gelsey Kirkland

With 'Black Swan,' the ballerina saga flips its tiara and goes on a hallucinatory bender, a scary acid trip where transfiguration and disfiguration meet.
James Wolcott
Image
The prima ballerinas who taught me were far more scary than Gordon Ramsay. They'd scream at me and pull my legs and arms, so after them Gordon was a piece of cake.
Jennifer Ellison

Did I ever tell you my pet peeve?' No,' I said. People who dress up their pets to look like Little Lord Fauntleroys or cowboys, clowns, ballerinas. As if it's not enough just to be a dog or cat or turtle.
Jerry Spinelli

When I grow up I am going to be a ballerina. I will be in Giselle. It will be so much fun being a ballerina.
Karen Kain
Image
I was a ballerina for a good 12 years. When I was 15 I had to stop. It wasn't a choice, it was an injury that prevented me from going forward in ballet unfortunately. Well, fortunately because I wouldn't be doing what I am doing now if that had not happened.
Kiesza

I have been a ballerina, a cheerleader and a sorority girl. I was the girliest girl alive.
Koren Zailckas

I would rather dance as a ballerina, though faultily, than as a flawless clown.
Margaret Atwood
Image
It's surprising to a lot of people because ballerinas look so long, but it's more of a proportion thing. Their legs are long in proportion to their body but in reality they're very tiny.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Image
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
Image
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.
