Misty Copeland Quotes

Those people that don’t see the power in art maybe have never been a part of an art, in a real way. To experience it, and to see and witness how it affects people, we’re not doing it just to create professionals. It’s to add another dimension to the way that children think and the way they experience certain things. If you didn’t have dance, music and singing, it just seems so odd to me Picture Quote #1

I had no idea what I was walking into, and the years and years of hard work it would take. I felt like an outsider and like it was never going to happen. But even if I would have known, I think I still would have done it. Dancers are perfectionists, and that’s what keeps us going and growing Picture Quote #1

I’m definitely very careful about the things that I want to be a part of, but it’s also important for me to get dance out there to more people Picture Quote #1

I think that I’m so fortunate to have found classical ballet. It completely changed my life and it shaped the person that I am today, on and off the stage Picture Quote #1

Just as a child, before I ever knew what ballet was, there was something in me where I was always searching for something structured, something that was bigger than me, and something so historical that I could be a part of. I didn’t find that until I stepped into the ballet world, and it was overwhelming, the feeling of being a part of something that’s bigger than you Picture Quote #1

My body is very different from most of the dancers I dance with. My hair is different than most I dance with. But I didn’t let that stop me. Black girls rock and can be ballerinas Picture Quote #1

Physical fears change and shift depending on the role and depending on the mindset I’m in Picture Quote #1

What makes people and companies and artistic directors and choreographers interested in working with dancers is the ability to kind of let go of everything you think you know and be a blank canvas Picture Quote #1

Going on stage and transcending the audience and becoming this otherworldly thing makes you a dancer. It’s not so black and white Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, my feet would hurt a lot, but you build up calluses and strength and you don’t feel as much pain there Picture Quote #1

It’s really amazing that I was discovered and that I’ve been given these great opportunities to travel the world and work with amazing artists. I’m very blessed Picture Quote #1

I think I’m pretty laid back. I like cooking, being at home, and going to concerts. And I love to shop! Picture Quote #1

It takes a lot of money to be a part of the ballet world. Both the training and the supplies are expensive, the shoes, the leotards and the tights Picture Quote #1

I think anything that affects me in my personal life is going to help me be a better artist on stage Picture Quote #1

I definitely like to be natural and more relaxed and not wear a lot of makeup Picture Quote #1

My career came together very quickly. I only trained for four years before I became a professional, so I didn’t have a lot of time to sit back and be inspired before I took my first ballet class Picture Quote #1

Ballet found me. I was discovered by a teacher in middle school. I always danced, my whole life. I never had any training, never was exposed to seeing dance, but I always had something inside of me Picture Quote #1

It’s difficult to exist as a woman, especially I think as a powerful woman. You want to stand strong and you want to be considered and equal Picture Quote #1

That it’s possible to do positive things and I think that’s how we’re going to set an example to be respected as women in the world Picture Quote #1

Success is not easy and I think everyone should know that hard work and perseverance and being open to giving back are so much more powerful than stepping all over people to get to the top Picture Quote #1

I just want to leave a positive memory of setting an example and bringing our youth with us Picture Quote #1

You can dream big and it doesn’t matter what you look like, where you come from Picture Quote #1

I believe that I definitely developed into a refined and graceful woman due to ballet. It has shaped me in every way Picture Quote #1

I was aware of my race from a very young age. Not in a negative way. Coming from an interracial background, I think it is important to understand who you are Picture Quote #1

The best piece of advice that I remember probably on a daily basis is to accept everything about me that is different. That is what makes me special Picture Quote #1
