Gymnasts and Dancers, PLEASE ANSWER!!!!?

Well, I'm trying to find some extracurriculars, and I think that two activities I'd like to try are gymnastics and ballet. I've done both before, but that was when I was younger, and it only lasted a few months. So I was wondering, is 14 too old to begin ballet or gymnastics? I keep hearing people say you can do whatever you want to, and that you're never too old, but that's not really the answer I'm looking for. I guess what I really mean is, is 14 too old to begin ballet or gymnastics and eventually be good at it? I'm not interested in competition. I just want to know if I'd ever get into pointe shoes or manage a complicated flip. I know I won't become the next Anna Pavlova or the next Nastia Liukin or the next Lara Croft, lol. But would I at some point catch up to the other girls my age? Also, what would you say are the pros and cons of ballet/gymnastics? What does it feel like going into that studio/gymnasium every day? What would you say are the best reasons to try either?
