Kendra Kassebaum famous quotes

If I'm not mistaken, I believe it was written beforehand. And it just happened in rehearsals Basically giving each person their vocal-line and I ended up getting that line!

I'm not sore from dancing all day!

Bring on the next thing because if I can conquer this, I can conquer that.
