Gypsy [Rose Lee ] was a masterful storyteller, and her memoir and by extension, the musical weren't only Gypsy's monument; they were also her chance for monumental revisionism.

I'm unable to ignore the gift that God gave me, so I'm going to sing.

Do not use compulsion, but let early education be rather a sort of amusement.
