We lived only to dance. What was the true characteristic of a queen, I wondered later on; and you could argue that forever. “What do we all have in common in this group?” I once asked a friend seriously, when it occurred to me how slender, how immaterial, how ephemeral the bond was that joined us; and he responded, “We all have lips.” Perhaps that is what we all had in common: no one was allowed to be serious, except about the importance of music, the glory of faces seen in the crowd. We had our songs, we had our faces! We had our web belts and painter’s jeans, our dyed tank tops and haircuts, the plaid shirts, bomber jackets, jungle fatigues, the all-important shoes. .

About This Quote

I have always wanted to be a great dancer. I have had dance classes since I was little. Although I never became a great dancer, I always loved being in the dance studio. I loved being with my friends and practicing the steps.

It is something that brings me joy. I also love my hair and I know that having nice hair does help on stage. My hair is the only thing that really makes me different from everyone else.
