I Took It As It

I Never Wanted To Be A Dancer. It's True! I Wanted To Be A Shortstop For The Pittsburgh Pirates.

I Had Been Asked To Open A Nightclub In Atlantic City. They Offered Me A Ridiculous Amount Of Money. They Literally Overpaid Me. So I Did One Show A Night. Then They Asked Me Back By Popular Demand. So I Went Back. Then I Said, "to Hell With This." I Was Only Doing It For The Money, And I Was Doing Easy Routines. It's Just Too Much Work To Get Up Every Day And Practice.

I Didn't Want To Move Or Act Like A Rich Man. I Wanted To Dance In A Pair Of Jeans. I Wanted To Dance Like The Man In The Streets.

I Didn't Want To Be A Dancer... I Just Did It To Work My Way Through College. But I Was Always An Athlete And Gymnast, So It Came Naturally.

I Love Rhythmic Dancing - I'm Not Derogating It At All. It's Just That Sometimes You Want To Whisper, "i Adore You." And For That You Need Strings And Woodwinds.
