You have to be the one promoting yourself. If you don't think that you're worthy, you're never going to make it.

To be empathetic to everyone around you, I think, is such a powerful thing to hold.

I think I'm pretty laid back. I like cooking, being at home, and going to concerts. And I love to shop!

I think American Ballet Theatre is setting that standard now for classical ballet, that you can dream big, and it doesn't matter what you look like, where you come from, what your background is.

All you can do is be your best self. I've always felt that I had to be that much more aware of how I present myself. I'm representing more than just me. I think every person should think that way.

I think that the ideal physique and look of a ballerina is always changing with different eras. And it's continuing to change.
