I have learned to be patient.

I can be very hard on myself, very demanding.

I love wine tasting in Napa. I don't have a huge collection, but the bottles I do have are special.

I can let go of a lot of stuff, but I focus on things I think I should, like dancing, because it takes 100 percent concentration on every step.

I love to watch old movies when I get time off.

I think ballet has influenced my personality a lot in the sense that I am very disciplined in all of my endeavours. I am always on time; I take things very seriously. I've built up my inner strength and self-esteem over time as I've improved as a dancer.
