Acting Is Actually Private.

The Young People, They Don't Knock On The Door Politely And Say "may I Come In?" They Barge In, They Take Your Seat, And You're Obsolete Unless You Recreate And Somehow Find Grace Somewhere Else. Another Profession May Not Be Like That.

I Remember Watching Swan Lake And Everybody Looking Exactly The Same, But Being Able To Relate Because They Were The Only Company I Had Ever Seen Even On Video That Had Asian Dancers. The Asian Community In Hawaii Is Actually Almost As Dominant As The Caucasian Community. I Thought "i Can Relate To That Company Because They Look Like People That I See Every Day." They Weren't All Little Stick-thin Russian Ballerinas.

All Teenagers Have This Desire To Somehow Run Away.
