Ballet can be grueling, for sure, but it gives you a certain discipline.

As an adult, I took ballet classes three times a week, and I believed it gave me better posture, a stronger body, and made me more graceful.

I think that taking ballet is one of the best things a girl can do. Period.

Ballet is an incredibly difficult, beautiful art form that takes a lot of training, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.

I started ballet in my early 20s. I studied for about ten years. Ballet is probably the one of the hardest things I've done, almost like MMA. People don't give it a lot of credit and think it's easy, but it's very difficult. For an athlete, you use muscles you really don't use, and ballet is something I really respect.

I was sent to ballet classes when I was a little girl. I wasn't very good, but it's that thing where little girls always try ballet, or whatever.

The discipline that ballet requires is obsessive. And only the ones who dedicate their whole lives are able to make it. Your toenails fall off and you peel them away and then you're asked to dance again and keep smiling. I wanted to become a professional ballet dancer.

At age 10, I was better at ballet than I think I will ever be at any physical activity for the rest of my life.

In terms of withstanding incredible amounts of pain - both physical and emotional - I don't think there's any better training than ballet.

Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.
