You've got to break through this idea of being light as a ballerina. The heavier you'll feel, the lighter you'll look.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you were ever a ballerina, you know the pain: just to be able to look like it's all so light, but when they take off their shoes, it's all bloody.
I'm lighter now in a lot of ways.
There might've been wires, but I have this ability to make myself light. Well you know what, in ballet, when you kind of lift yourself here, it's all up in the head.
The first movement ballerina should be a paradigm of strength and authority.
As a child, I had been told that I was exactly what a ballerina should be.
When I was heavier, I danced and I jumped out of planes. I've always rejected the idea that there's a certain look or size that makes it acceptable to live life.
At the ballet, you really feel like you're in the presence of something outside the rest of your life. Higher than the rest of your life.
I last went to a gym when I was a teenager to make sure I could lift ballerinas.
Eating lighter makes you lighter. No one can wave a magic wand.
If you labor heavily upon a work of art, then part of what you are saying is, 'This is a heavy work of art.' If you happen to be trying to say something about lightness, then the art should be light as well.
