Darcey Bussell quotes:

You have to be able to cut off from the ballet and relax, or you have anxiety dreams at night, worrying about what you're going to dance the next day, going over every little detail.

Ballet is quite unnatural on the joints. My body is just worn. My joints are 10 years older than me.

It's very easy to become selfish and narrow-minded and see ballet as the only thing in life, but there's lots more.

Being a mother has made my life complete.
