The school in the 30's wrote to our parents saying; we think Gillian has a learning disorder.
She couldn't concentrate, she was fidgeting. I think now they would say she has ADHD.
She sat on her hands for 20 minutes while this man was talking to our mother about all the problems Gillian was having in school. The minute they left the room she was on her feet moving to the music. And he turned to our mother; Mrs. Lynne, Gillian isn't sick. She's a dancer. Take her to a dance school.
I can't tell you how wonderful this was. We walked into a room and it was full of people like me. People who couldn't sit still. People who had to move to think.
Now Gillian eventually auditioned for the royal ballet school, she became a solist. She had a wonderful career at the royal ballet. She graduated from the ballet school and founded her own company. The Gillian Dance Company. Met Andrew Loyd Webber. She has been responsible for some of the most successful musical theaters in history. She has given pleasure to millions. And she is a multimillionaire.
Somebody else might have put her on medication and told her to calm down.

The Golden Pin
I remember we went to see this classic opera.
The princess refused the king's order to end her
relationship with a warrior who loved her
and marry the foreign king she didn't love.
So the King sent her;
poison
rope
and a sword.
She refused all
and chose death by her golden pin.
But I didn't do that.
People have tradegies.
But we need to let them go and move on.
It's fate.
