At the moment I'm enjoying a new challenge at the Royal Opera House, but I'm also keen to pursue my interest in television and particularly in science.

Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives... So train the whole person, not just the dancer.

I enjoy the freedom of modern dance as well as the constraints of classical dance.

Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

It's not about weight, it's about fitness, and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat, because fat is not very efficient, whereas muscle is.

It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top.

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case.

People often argue about this. Obviously one of the skills in performance is acting, and you can't expect every Romeo to really be in love with their Juliet!

I've always believed that the facts about dancing are more interesting than the myths, and this was a great chance for me to explore how the human body does such incredible things.

A good dancer is an educated one, so dont abandon school.

I think it's useful to experience other types of dance and other cultures, and the life of a classical dancer these days is certainly not all tutus! So experience of other dance forms is a good idea.

I want to look at you as you kill me.

Starting and profitably running a business is not just some achievement, it is heroism.

What if I don’t like adventure?Then cultivate a taste for it. Take a chance. That’s how you grow.

The universe is seeming really huge right now. I need something to hold on to.

I am responsible for my own well-being my own happiness. The choices and decisions I make regarding my life directly influence the quality of my days.

And if God choose I shall but love thee better after death.

I am the best film director in the world.

Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.

Poets are like steam valves, where the ordinary feelings of ordinary people can escape and be shown.
