(On World Ballet Day, William Smith had an interview with Naomi Hibberd, one of Australia's most famous dancers, in the studio.)
William: Welcome to our interview, Ms Hibberd! What do you like most about being a dancer?
Naomi: I enjoy the feeling of moving around and I can keep doing it all day. I also love to do research on background stories and characters. It makes me feel like an actress.
William: What do you think is the hardest part of being a dancer?
Naomi: I love early bedtime. However, my shows sometimes end after 10:30 at night, so I can't go to bed until midnight.
William: So, do you feel really tired then?
Naomi: Yes. But you know, the more you do it, the easier it becomes. My body has got used to the work time. But if possible, I would like to have eight hours' sleep every night. It's really important to get a good rest.
William: That's true. Do you always have to eat healthy food?
Naomi: I try to eat healthily, but for me, some food like meat and sugar can provide me with long-burning energy. I must make sure I eat plenty of such food throughout the day.
William: I see. Do you get nervous often, Ms Hibberd?
Naomi: I used to, and each time I was under stress, I would always take three deep breaths to calm down. Before going to the stage, I also checked all the steps to make sure I was fully prepared. I hardly get nervous now as performing has become normal for me.
William:

Naomi: It was to have a better body shape before. But later I realized that I should be happy with what I had. Finishing every performance well is what I aim for now. I hope to be the best performer I can be, though it's not easy.
William: Good luck to you! And thanks for your time.
