“A good street performing act is like a pilot light. People come to
it, and some time back in their past they put aside the idea that everybody
might be a dancer or an artist or a musician. Everybody has had some such a
dream, but they've put it aside and gone on with their humdrum life. And then
they see the street performer and see that somebody is managing to get away
with it, with life, and managing to live between the cracks. I may never do it
they say, but if somebody’s going to do it, it means my dream is still alive
and maybe one day I'll do it. It’s not too late. And that’s what a street
performer is.”
