Obviously, there's the seedy side of the strip club world and pole dancing. But, pole dancing, as an art form, is really beautiful. It's been hyper-sexualized because it's associated with strippers, but if you think about it, just in terms of other kinds of dancing, they're using an instrument to create these amazing dance forms.

The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is, to me, still amazing, but then to win a Tony was just incredible.

I just feel energized when I am around young, talented people. There is something about these kids that's amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me.

It's amazing that something only an atom thick can be an impenetrable barrier. You can have gas on one side and vacuum or liquid on the other, and with a wall only one atom thick, nothing would go through it.
