And particularly if you're invested in the body and it's where you learn what's true and what isn't true.

It could be true for somebody who can still do it.

It's not true for you because you still don't have that speed.

You don't have that flexibility.

You don't have...

That option, and so it becomes, I suppose, and I haven't quite accomplished this, but I think about it obviously a lot, we all do, is an exchange rate.

Okay, I'm going to have to give up a kind of sort of physical independence, but in exchange for this, I can have a lot of goodwill.

How can I circulate that goodwill to get this thing done that still feels as though it's a worthy enough accomplishment to offer?

But it's a totally different mechanism.

And it's physicality translated differently.

And, you know, one, I always in the studio, I was a very good dancer.

And I managed to build a career because dancers wanted to work with me because they become better dancers.

And now it is not a body that is dancing better than any other dancer.

It is a body that is not moving and that needs still to be able to correspond to a great dancer with many, many options that you have something to offer them and that you can realize something with them that is of great value.

I dislike the word mentor.

I don't think about that much because I like better the word apprentice, that people learn

You don't teach them, they learn.

And that is a component here.

And I think that that's a kind of, I mean, that's the upside is you can still be mutual.

You can still share this process.
