Black Swan Quote
Nina : I came to ask for the part.
Thomas Leroy : The truth is when I look at you all I see is the white swan. Yes you're beautiful, fearful, and fragile. Ideal casting. But the black swan? It's a hard fucking job to dance both.
Nina : I can dance the black swan, too.
Thomas Leroy : Really? In 4 years every time you dance I see you obsessed getting each and every move perfectly right but I never see you lose yourself. Ever! All that discipline for what?
Nina : [ whispers ] I just want to be perfect.
Thomas Leroy : What?
Nina : I want to be perfect.
Thomas Leroy : [ scoffs ] Perfection is not just about control. It's also about letting go. Surprise yourself so you can surprise the audience. Transcendence! Very few have it in them.
Nina : I think I do have it in me.
