“I belong to a race that sings and dances as it breathes. I don’t care where I am so long as I can sing and dance. The wide world is my stage and I am my audience. If I didn't feel like that I wouldn't be an artist. The things you do best for other people are the things you would do just as well for yourself.” - Florence Mills
