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.

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.

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.

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.

The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.

We avoid risks in life only to die, and end up facing the greatest risk which is having lived life risking nothing at all.

Because when you finally find the one against all odds, you give him your best and let the magic of the world carry the rest.

Professional wrestling is in my blood. I may have second guessed it in the past, but I know it now.

In the old days, you'd get credit if you would spend less money and have victory. That would be a good thing.

We need missionaries to match our message.

Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called 'walking.'

I know it's hard for women to tap into that feeling of self-worth. We need to get the message out that you are valued, you are a goddess and don't forget that.

Time cannot be recycled. When a moment has gone, it is really gone. Wise time management is really wise management of ourselves.

In the time of the sacred sites and the crashing of ecosystems and worlds, it may be worth not making a commodity out of all that is revered.
