Mitzi Gaynor Quotations

It's hard to talk about yourself onstage and be sincere about it.

Even today when I rehearse, I give it everything that I've got. If I'm in a performance and the lights go out, I glow in the dark. When you're working before an audience, you have to make them feel like they can touch you. That's the dancer within, reaching out.
