I'm no expert standing at a podium giving speeches. I share heartbeats. Compassion.

I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing.

I don't think people have seen yet what I can really do. Only appetizers!

I get enough sleep. I take very good care of myself. Growing up as a dancer, you know your body so well, you know what to do to overcome something.

No one goes unscathed, we all go through things. We just can't let people's nasty words become our beliefs about ourselves, you know?

We're not excusing the ones who are mean, but I want girls to understand the psychology. It's not in everyone. But the bully needs to put this pain somewhere.

I had to make some drastic choices to avoid losing myself.

I will never forget experiencing Venice for the first time. It feels like you are transported to another time - the art, music, food and pure romance in the air is like no other place.

You have to be a little crazy to be a dancer.

Girls are so often pitted against each other as enemies or adversaries. We even see it in 'Us' magazine: Who wore it better?

Girls' inner critics are starting to reveal themselves at a younger and younger age. And body image issues are an aspect of their lives which is causing them low self esteem and day-to-day suffering.

I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.

If there be one righteous person, the rain falls for his sake.

Great living starts with a picture, held in your imagination, of what you would like to do or be.

Have I today done anything to fulfill the purpose for which Thou didst cause me to be born?

Baz Luhrrman's movie Romeo and Juliet is what made me decide that I wanted to dedicate my life to making films one way or another.

A beguiling lady doesn't take after the swarm. She is herself.

Inside my head I carry: my baby goat, my baby brother, my ama's face, our family's future. My bundle is light. My burden is heavy.

Now I am not running to please sponsors or to be the No.1 U.S. runner. Now I look at each step I get to take as a gift. I run because I love to run. I want to be able to run until I am 90 years old.

I just take fights that make me feel comfortable.
