The reason ballet has remained so interesting to me for all these years is because it is a complete mental, physical, and emotional challenge every day. There is no cheating in ballet; shortcuts don't work. The perfect ballet ideal is one which none of us will ever achieve, but we who are crazy enough to pursue it and continue striving for it find moments of artistry and success that sustain us.
"I really have to dance more often, and so I travel around. If I don't, I will crumble."
—Rudolf Nureyev
