At least in my performances, the audience has become so diverse in a way that I don't think ballet has ever experienced.

Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.

I've always been excited by the strangeness of ballet, but I can't bear it when people just come forward and do a turn in the air for no reason.

Ballet was this thing that just felt so innate in me, like I was meant to be doing this.

Ballet really taught me so much about the power of movement.

I liked the structure of ballet.

Ballet was so structured. I'd been craving something that could guide me.

Ballet became this escape for me. I feel like I was on my own a lot. I was searching for stability, so I was going off on my own and imagining what I thought stability was. Ballet became a way for me to cope.

I love ballet. Ballet is its own being. It has its own vocabulary. I feel as if I am in a different world when I am in the ballet studio.

Ballet is such a disciplined craft and it has given me a good grounding.
