Kevin [McKenzie, ABT's artistic director] has sort of brought 'Afternoon of a Faun' into the rep as a little present for me for my 20th anniversary,

We want to present nominees with one of its kind jewelry piece in their gift bag to help celebrate that unforgettable day. After careful selection, we chose the necklace from D.A.Y.S. an Original Collection for its distinctive design and an unusual blend of fabrics and the fluted shell pearl.

It happens pretty frequently and in the most random places, ... It hasn't changed my life at all, but it's added a nice, fun element to it.

It was sort of something that I had wanted to do, but it was a surprise, ... It's a very interesting essay on people and how they approach their work, and how they approach each other, and how they see themselves.

It's typical Robbins in that it's beautiful and as enjoyable to watch as it is to dance, ... It's so rewarding. Everything I've ever danced of his, I've just enjoyed so much, and I feel like they've made me a better artist.

It's been certainly more than a job, it's been giving me a charmed life, ... If I could've dreamt what the outcome of my career would've been when I'd auditioned 20 years ago, you know, I would have never believed it. It's just given me the greatest blessings and gifts and rewards and challenges. It's really been quite a trip.
