What are your favorite ballet performances? Why is about ballet that you enjoy?

I don’t have any favorites; I love them all, though I prefer those that tell a story. It transports me with the music and the fluidity of movement.

Besides ballet, what other cultural performances do you like to watch?

I’m a fan of live theater performances, though not so much musicals. I like seeing dramas acted out on stage.

Is there anything that you would still like to do in your lifetime?

Though I’ve traveled extensively in Europe, my dream is to have the time and the means to thoroughly explore the far east.

What would you like to say to aspiring lawyers out there?

It’s not a profession for the weak-hearted! The profession requires patience and the ability to follow through on whatever task is assigned whenever it’s assigned and by whom.
