The best thing I ever won:  My contract to the New York City Ballet.

The most important thing I ever lost:  My heart.

My family:  My daughter Ayla, dad James, mother Naomi, and best friend Kitty

My work:  Is passionately all-consuming

Right now I’m reading:Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho.

Favorite web site:  travelocity.com

Last major purchase:  Black Dolce Gabbana dress and a ticket to New York City.

My favorite body part:  A man's derrière.

If I were a superheroine, I would be: Catwoman.

I wish I’d known: To live in the moment and not in the future.

The worst idea I’ve ever had:  Piercing my belly button at a late age.

Something most people don’t know about me:  I fold my underwear.

My mother always said:  "You can never be too rich or too thin."

My first job: Ballet teaching assistant.

Always... enter a room with confidence.

Never... let them see you sweat.
