Acting is a sense of wonder and magic and mystery for me and when life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.

I frequently go to the ballet, but I don't miss it in the sense that I wish I were still dancing.

I want to be happy, to look back and feel I danced well at the end of my career and didn't dwindle off. It would be too sad.

I always knew I wanted to dance. I started ballet when I was three years old, and I just knew it was something that I loved and that I wanted to do.

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

The moment the curtain rose on that first ballet, I knew something wonderful and new had come into my life. I can still see the first scene. The ballet was Divertimento No. 15.

In the ballet studio, it was such an organized and disciplined environment, like I'd never had in my life. Seeing myself in the mirror, surrounded by the classical music, that's when I started to fall in love with dance.

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.

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.

The moment in between what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.
