Quotes

"The secret is to just keep moving."

"I always performed when I was a child. My parents got very annoyed, because my brother and I had our little bedrooms upstairs, and I would plaster the house with posters with arrows pointing upstairs: if it was Easter, the signs said, "Easter Show!" Or for Christmas, "Santa Claus Show!" We'd put up dances and performances. Without being conscious about it, I had to do it. It wasn't a choice."
