“The ballet world is so competitive, and for no reason. It's not a sport. It's an art. There's no winner.”

“The bad press started to play a big part in how people perceived me, and I started playing on that too, which was a big mistake.”

“I want to make people happy. I love kids and I want to help kids. And tigers.”

“The world of women fascinates me, probably because my sister and I were always together as children in our mother's salon after school and after ballet classes. We used to talk about what we saw: the different ladies who would come in, all with their distinctive personalities.”

“Hip hop classes and ballet are what I've been keeping up with, and of course my usual abdominal workout, which consists of 500 sit-ups a session. Or I take a 30-minute abs class at my gym. But dance classes are a full-body cardio workout, which always brings me success and keeps me feeling great.”
