Ballet Quotes
Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.
Neve Campbell
When life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.
Andrea Thompson
I was real into theater, and then I tried soccer, acting and ballet. Both my parents didn't want a child-star model, so I didn't get into modeling until I was 14.
Emily Ratajkowski
My mother always said to carry yourself with dignity and pride, and I just think Audrey Hepburn totally epitomizes that, you know? From such a young age, she was dancing ballet. There was a lot going on in her life... that was during the time of the Nazis.
Auli'i Cravalho
I didn't know if I could act, but I knew I could be a great ballet dancer, and Balanchine put out the carpet for me.

My parents used to park us kids at the public library in downtown Honolulu every Saturday. They'd leave us there at 8 A.M. and pick us up at 4 P.M. - so between those hours, you'd better find something to do! I sat upstairs in the picture room and went through opera, ballet, and theater books. I loved the photographs of people wearing elaborate makeup and costumes - they really pulled at me inside. I was in that library every week for years, until I was about 13. I had a rich interior life, because I didn't have much of a social life.
Bette Midler
I was raised with a lot of classical music. I loved ballet. I was a bun head for 10 years.
Elisabeth Moss

Condola Rashad
I had to try to understand how much of a taboo it was. My mum worked in ballet and theatre when she was younger, and I had been brought up around lots of gay people, so I had never had any issue and couldn't imagine how hard it was to be out.
George MacKay
Ballet pumps are the dream shoes because they are so comfortable. They look great both with jeans and summer dresses; and you can even wear the right pair with an evening gown.
Lesley Lawson
If nobody comes to your shows, then it's modern dance. If everybody comes to your shows and no one likes it, is that ballet? I don't know.
