For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.

Girls' inner critics are starting to reveal themselves at a younger and younger age. And body image issues are an aspect of their lives which is causing them low self esteem and day-to-day suffering.

Body image - what we're supposed to look like - is made so unattainable that all girls are put in this position of feeling inferior. That's a horrible thing.

If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing.

I think body-image issues are not just a dancer thing. I think we're much more in tune and aware because the body is our instrument and art, and we stare at ourselves in a mirror all day, but I feel like it's something that every woman experiences and every girl experiences.

Boys and boys' body image and clothes have become just as important an issue for boys as for girls.

Every girl has days when she doesn't like her appearance, but it's when you feel happy in yourself that you look good.

I've long struggled with my body image and have worked hard to achieve a healthy weight.

I am pretty honest about a lot of things that young girls question, like their body image.

I'm like every other girl; there are things I wish I could change about my body, but I try not to think about them too much.
