"Tamara Rojo: 'Ballet dancers don't enjoy the pain. We're not masochists'"
"The principal ballerina with the Royal Ballet talks about how she is as much an actor as a dancer, why she hates seeing videos of her performances and why Black Swan was an insult to her profession." (...)
"What about the pain dancers have to endure? She is avoiding the operation she needs on her knee because it would stop her dancing for six months. "To concentrate constantly on the fact that we're in pain is wrong. There are injuries, like for any athlete, because we lead the lives of athletes in our daily routine, but that is not why we do it. We're not masochists. We don't enjoy the pain. It's not some kind of religious ritual. You do not and should not think you have to suffer for the art."
