I had to dance topless for two years to make cash to pay my bills and save some money. But it was very enlightening, by the way. I'm talking about light from the gutter.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a dancer, you're told not to go into it for the money.
I always put dance stuff out because you have to work, man. You have to eat. You have to compromise sometimes to make it. I had to make sacrifices, and I had to raise my children.
I don't really want to do topless stuff anymore.
Many people are in the dark when it comes to money, and I'm going to turn on the lights.
I could have been a dancer. I just never got my shot at it.
Dancing is a sweat job.
I'll always dance for fun, but for work? I've done it, dude.
I've been dancing forever; since I remember, that's what I've been doing.
At one stage, I didn't have any money, so I slept on the streets for a few nights. It wasn't uncommon in the 1950s, and it wasn't uncommon to be out of money. There wasn't anywhere to go to get money.
I have never been wired to be front and centre of spotlight and ready to dance.
