I Was Very Much Of

When You Are On Stage, You Don't See Faces. The Lights Are In Your Eyes And You See Just This Black Void Out In Front Of You. And Yet You Know There Is Life Out There, And You Have To Get Your Message Across.

But What Was My Motivation Was Music, And The Fact That I Love To Move Around. I'm Always Moving Around.

In Fact, Ballet Companies Did Not Exist In The Midwest When I Was A Child.

After I Stopped Dancing, I Was Unable To Listen To Beautiful Music.

I Loved The Stage Not Because It Provided An Escape From Myself Or My Humdrum Life But Because When The Curtain Went Up I Could Be Whoever I Wanted To Be, And That Was True Freedom - To Be Myself.
