Darcey Bussell Quotes

Honestly, I look in the mirror, and I'm not the greatest looking kid.

There's lots said about me. I have teeth that are way too big for my face or that I am too skinny for my own good... And I can safely say that I have three left feet. But there's nothing I can do about it. That's the way I look, and that's the way I was born.
