That the work involved the willingness to take chances the commitment the opportunity to get on stage and make people happy was more important than becoming famous or even what I was dancing.

I don't mean being famous is a perk because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like I don't know general friendliness and willingness to please just to point out two.

I've worked on films where the budgets are almost limitless and you're in trailers that are bigger than a hotel room.
