agree american-dancer art disney except horrible love obsessed walt
Well let's see; I'm not obsessed with... I like Walt Disney except that you know, except for the horrible fascism. I love the art of it. I like a lot of things I don't agree with and that's one of them.
class people want
I teach class. I study music. I rehearse. I coach people. That's it. I'm doing exactly what I want.
beautiful ties important
Disney is thrilling and informative and important and beautiful and suspect. Butts was a detail I observed later and definitely ties in. I suppose I was programmed, yeah.
children
Every child dances, and then you learn not to.
cloud crushes event extremely far fell high massive scale takes talking
Here we're talking about some galactic scale event that takes an already very massive cloud and just crushes it into extremely high densities forming, in one fell swoop, hundreds and hundreds of stars, most of which are far more massive than our own sun.
assume expected partners
You have to assume the partners are going to sell. It's to be expected when the restrictions are lifted.
close example good
We didn't know we had such a good example so close by.
cosmic nobody seen
Nobody has ever seen anything like that before in the cosmic realm.
people
So I'll do what I can to let people see that now.
american-dancer art becoming defend far form land people similar
Perhaps... I mean there are people who defend that it as an art. I don't. I like it but it's not an art form as far as I'm concerned, and yet it's a similar thing, once you can't land those jumps, you're disqualified - that precludes it from ever becoming a serious art form.
american-dancer art badly eventually loathe twentieth works
That piece has been choreographed so badly so many times. I'm loathe to do it but I may eventually because it is one of the seminal art works of the twentieth century.
adore art costumes course figure full gay hate johnny love music queer supposed worship
Being queer you're supposed to adore figure skating. It's a sport, not an art. I love the costumes and hate the music and of course I worship Johnny Weir because so does he. Also he's real. It's a full gay thing and it always has been.
bad mean wealthy
'Elitist' doesn't need to mean wealthy and conservative; it can also mean specialised and rarefied, and that's no bad thing.
It never occurred to me that I'd have a dance company.
