Just because it's summertime doesn't mean you can't wear long pants and blazers - just make sure they're breathable.
I think 'Tap Dogs' has lasted so long because people have a natural interest in tap dancing. This form of dancing can't be dated, it's such an intriguing form of dance because the feet are also an an instrument.

So long as you don't feel life's paltry and a miserable business, the rest doesn't matter, happiness or unhappiness.
And in the future, you know, maybe there's kids in the future for me, I don't really know. The interesting thing with me is that there has never been a woman doing what I'm doing at this level for this long. So, it's like, would Vince give me maternity leave?
