You've documented it.

When did you first begin to understand maybe your relationship to pain, to control it rather than to let it control you?

I need to know, you mentioned your son, your three-year-old son.

How does childbirth compare to the kind of pain that you've experienced, that physical pain from injuries?

Yeah.

Oh, my.

Okay, so wait.

Misty Copeland is saying Swan Lake is harder on your body than childbirth.

You revealed to us some years ago that you've been painting your own pointe shoes for years to match your skin tone.

And now folks can find various different skin tones with pointe shoes and with the tights and everything.

But can you take us back to when you first started doing this, when you were doing it in those early days?

How were you actually doing it?

What were you even using to make them your color?

I want to ask you just a few questions about your relationship with Prince, because it was a pretty defining time period in your life.

You guys worked together for about six years, on and off?

Where was he looking?

That, I mean, he definitely had a vision for you.

And dancing on the piano, that seems like such a feat.

I mean, the stability in itself.

Yeah.
