Being on stage taught me how to apply eyeliner.

For every dancer, no matter how amazing your career, there's more to life than ballet. Being adored by your audience, it's only part of the story.

Being a full-time mother is one of the biggest jobs in the world; it's like another career for me. I love every moment of it - even the challenge of making cupcakes.

Confidence comes from other places, not just how you look.

Being a ballerina can be a very unnatural life, especially after you've had children.

I suppose you could say there is an in-built stubbornness to me.
