Zitat des Tages von Darcey Bussell:

I need help to ensure I grow old gracefully! So now I always apply moisturiser and foundation with an SPF, to protect my skin from the sun.

My husband is Australian, and my family is scattered around the U.K. and France mostly, but we try to get a big group together for the holidays.

The Royal Academy of Dance is an institution that trains to a very high standard.

Over the years, I've had two ankle operations, torn my hamstring, had my hip resurfaced, and snapped the anterior cruciate ligament in my knee.

If you have enough ambition, you can create talent!

I joined the Royal Ballet School when I was 13. Before then, I'd done ballet twice a week after school. The rest of my class had started aged 11, so I'd missed two years and was really far behind.

I wore myself out physically and mentally over my career, and I couldn't be there for my daughters in ways I should have been.

Darcey Bussell

We always want what we don't have, and I'd like a long, sophisticated nose rather than a short, turned-up one.

Darcey Bussell

Life is short, so go for things you enjoy.

As a little girl, I didn't dream of being a ballet dancer; I dreamt of being a movie star like Ginger Rogers and dancing with Fred Astaire. I used to watch the Sunday double-bills on TV and Iong to be part of what seemed a perfect Disneyland world. Astaire was a genius.

I love Australia; it's such an outdoor life.

Darcey Bussell

I don't see anything negative about dance. It is so good for you, mentally and physically, and so for me to promote it is the easiest thing to do.

I was pretty rubbish when I first started dancing. I didn't understand the discipline of working on one step over and over again. If you look at it from the outside, you'd think, 'Why would anybody want to do that?' But you just want to get it perfect. It is that constant inner striving that you fall in love with.

The hardest thing about 'Strictly' is having to sit still for so long; it just about kills me.

Darcey Bussell

If I had a caterer that lived at home, it would be fabulous!

Darcey Bussell

I suppose you could say there is an in-built stubbornness to me.

Darcey Bussell

The best thing is to lie in a warm Epsom salts bath for 15 minutes and then go straight to bed. You will sleep really well afterwards.

Darcey Bussell

I've come to realise that being on 'Strictly' is like being in another theatre company and performing a live production.

Darcey Bussell

I hate throwing personal things away, especially my cards. As I know I won't be dancing for ever, these are the things that I will look back on.

Darcey Bussell

Dancing has always been a passion for me, one that I will probably never be rid of.

Darcey Bussell

Since finishing my professional dancing career, I've been conscious of not letting myself go.

Darcey Bussell

I hate when I get stiff, and I really notice that.

When I was at the Royal Ballet School, I remember receiving my first eyeshadow palette from Marks & Spencer as a gift. It sparked my interest in beauty, which peaked when I became more involved in theatre and got to experience so many stunning image transformations to suit different productions.

I loved gymnastics, and my gymnastics teacher said ballet was essential to help my dance routines in competitions. I only really went because my friends were going as well. It wasn't this kind of hidden love. Then, slowly, my friends stopped going and I thought, 'I like this. I am going to stay.'

Darcey Bussell

Sometimes I regret that I don't have a bit more fun with money. I should have spoilt myself a bit more. Life isn't going to last for ever.

Darcey Bussell

Dancers are working their bodies just like a marathon runner would, and you have to eat to make it through a three-hour performance. Dancers put their bodies through incredible strain.

Darcey Bussell

I had once been told my ability to read would only reach that of a ten-year-old, but I was determined to achieve more.

Darcey Bussell

My mum sent me to ballet from the age of five, not because I was that into it but because I had really knock knees.

Darcey Bussell

Weirdly, I didn't even know that I said 'yah' all the time.

Darcey Bussell

I always knew I was a bit different from my friends, had too much energy, and suddenly I could get it all out with ballet.

Darcey Bussell

If I'm dehydrated, my muscles feel almost squeaky.

Now I'm on television, I'm far more conscious of my skin than I used to be - I would often leave the theatre with layers of pancake make-up still on my face, but on a medium such as TV, I have to be more fastidious.

Darcey Bussell

I wanted to inspire every little girl who wants to be a dancer to fire their imagination about the joys of being on the stage.

Darcey Bussell

It is entertainment; we mustn't forget that. Dance is entertainment. You can have the best technicians in the world, but they'll be boring to watch. It has to be about entertainment as well, but it's quality, grace.

Darcey Bussell

I know some people aspire to a ballerina's body, but I looked forward to feeling more feminine.

Darcey Bussell

I've got that personality where I've always been determined. As a dancer, I was constantly improving and perfecting. I guess it's innate.
