That The Work Involved, The Willingness To Take Chances, The Commitment, The Opportunity To Get On Stage And Make People Happy, Was More Important Than Becoming Famous, Or Even What I Was Dancing.

I Liked Latin, I Like Languages, I Liked All The Myths, And The Roman Tales That We Were Required To Translate In Latin, And All These Interesting People Who Were Never Quite What They Thought They Would Be Or Seemed To Be.
