When I grow up I am going to be a ballerina. I will be in Giselle. It will be so much fun being a ballerina.

Talent will only take you so far, and it is your ability to feel the music and explore a movement that will bring you the greatest pleasure in dance.

Dancers, like all performing artists, like nothing better than to be challenged.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I wanted to be a male ballet dancer.
