“I constantly diet. People laugh when I arrive at rehearsal with my box...” — Arlene Phillips Quote

“I constantly diet. People laugh when I arrive at rehearsal with my box of sliced beetroot and bag of chicory, but if I indulge in a cupcake binge or a large bowl of pasta, it shows.”

“I am always competing with my body. I am always thinking my body is going to do things it won't do.”

“I knew from the first time I put my hand on the barre at the age of eight that dancing was all I wanted to do and that it was what I was going to do, and nothing was going to stop me. That has always been the driving force in my life. It is who I am.”

“The only specialized diet that I follow is home-cooked food.”

“When major lectin-containing foods were introduced to our diet about 10,000 years ago in the form of grains and beans, our health dramatically changed for the worse.”

“I don't eat junk foods and I don't think junk thoughts.”
