Lots of times you have to pretend to join a parade in which you're not really interested in order to get where you're going.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're not in the parade, you watch the parade. That's life.
When you're on top and you lead the parade, everyone's there throwing lilies and lilac water on your head. But when those parades have gone by and there's a storm in your heart, there are very few people that are going to sit there and listen to you bemoan life.
I tell you, if you're in the front row of the parade and you stop walking, pretty soon you're back in the tuba section. And if you want to lead the parade you've got to keep moving.
I parade in next to no clothes every day. It's hard not to compare yourself to other people, but I think everyone is different, and that is something we should be celebrating.
If you wait for inspiration you'll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street.
I am not into action and adventure on holiday; that doesn't really do it for me. I would much rather go and lie down.
When I've ridden in parades, I always throw to the kids, the elderly and anyone who is smiling and having a great time. I try to make eye contact with the person. If you catch a ton and a kid nearby hasn't caught much, share.
A lot of times you go to a concert, and when you leave, you don't know anything more about the act then when you got there.
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
I can't stop being in parades. I just love dancing on floats that move really slowly on the city streets in the early morning.
