Natalia Makarova

People tell me I'm dancing better than ever. I don't know what happened, but I have new enthusiasm and more endurance.

I recently learn a new word: insatiable. That's me.

Many people thought I would never succeed, because I am so Russian. So Russian, hundred percent.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I was feeling a strong need to change, grow, and break with particular things that were going on in my life and my history, and the material was the perfect answer for that.

I always tell my kids that as soon as you have a secret, something about you that you are ashamed to have others find out, you have given other people the power to hurt you by exposing you.
