And then I thought, well, it couldn't be a cell phone because we didn't have cell phones back then. I mean, we had cell phones, but they were the size of canoes, so it wasn't that. But I didn't know what it was. And then it would go away. And then I had where I would run. I was a big jogger, and I would run in Central Park, and I would trip on something. I thought, what rock?

And then when I felt this stabbing pain in my arm in Central Park, I thought, well, maybe it is a knife because I'm in Central Park. But it wasn't.

So the doctors would go, honey, honey, there's nothing wrong with you. You're fine. You might feel crazy, a little hypochondria. And I'm just sitting there like, well, maybe they're right. I guess I'm a hypochondriac, but I never had been a hypochondriac. In fact, I would like to stay away from doctors as much as I can and not – I would go at the last minute.

Oh, I think it was absolutely a wonderful thing to have been a dancer, to have that discipline and just to be able to roll with the punches and all the jobs that I did. And like I said, my mother teaching me that when they were a Rockettes, they had to learn the accordion in one day and all that.
