“I’ve always said that my luck is that I never dreamt of being a ballerina, … [and] the only thing that drives me is the pleasure on stage, and what I could do there, what kind of experience I can have there and what I could feel. So if people were trying to make me do things that I wasn’t really happy to do, then there was no way I was going to do it. … I’m not going to waste my time.”
