It wasn't about mechanics; it was about a feeling, wanting to give someone something, which in turn was really gratifying. That really resonated for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I also think that I had great mechanics.
Riding exhilarated me; it gave me a joy and a purpose.
Music's supposed to come from the heart. I felt like that if it ever got mechanical, I was going to back away from it.
I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through.
I'm really very glad that I had skating to be my love and my escape. I think that it always gave me something that made me feel good, and it was music, and it was peaceful, and not a lot of the other stresses of life.
I felt God's love, and that was a great gift.
It was the most pleasurable thing I've ever done, playing this character, and I just remember feeling so at home and so - I don't know, I was just happy - and it just wasn't ever work! It was like a sandbox for me, and I would crack myself up rehearsing.
The other thing I felt was that the philosophical concept behind the experiences also looked like it had been designed by technicians and not by entertainers. I felt I needed to grab hold of it and try and push the envelope as much as I possibly could right now.
I remember feeling that technology was like trying to draw with your foot. In a ski boot. It was the most indirect way to work imaginable, but the potential had us all excited. I started in stop motion.
It is quite amazing what I didn't feel after a while. I didn't really want to feel things.
