QUOTE : I know Skinny is here, too, because whether I like it or not, she will always be a part of me. I just don't have to listen to her. Besides, there's too much else in my mind, and in my heart to listen to faint echoes. Instead I think of my entrance. My moments. My lines. My music. Those brilliant lights shining on the other side of that curtain tonight will change me forever. I know it. Surgery changed my stomach, Losing weight changed my body. Rat's love changed my heart. But saying good-bye to Skinny changed me most of all. Because Skinny is... was... me. Now it's her turn to listen. She needs to hear what's going to happen on this stage tonight.
