When you get on stage, you can be anything. You are removed from reality in a way, the real world.

I'm thought of as a cool, unemotional dancer, but inside I'm not.

I loved tests because it was another form of competing, a healthy competition.

You're never more of an individual than when you're a happy team player.

I loved the stage not because it provided an escape from myself or my humdrum life but because when the curtain went up I could be whoever I wanted to be, and that was true freedom - to be myself.

Once I started dancing, I was not the spoiled brat or the rebellious child that I was as a child.

The arts are the hospitals for our souls.

I set as my goal to be the best dancer I could be. Not the most famous, or the highest paid dancer, just the best I could be. Out of this discipline came great freedom and calm.

On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life.

As soon as I hear music, something in me starts to vibrate.

After I stopped dancing, I was unable to listen to beautiful music.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

Yielding to God's will can be hard. And sometimes, it really hurts. But it always brings peace.

We should not look for more in others, Rather find more within ourselves

GRACEGRACE is the GIFT of God's Riches' the PEACE of God, The LOVE of God, The HOPE of God.

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost.

Work hard, play hard, love hard. <3

Every act of virtue is an ingredient unto reward.

Each day we go to our work in the hope of discovering.

The essence of Christian obedience is not do’s and don’ts but personal allegiance to Jesus.

I don't build character. I eliminate the people who don't have it.
