Being yourself Quote by Dee
“You never know what you can do before you try it. And each time you go out, its an experiment, a work in progress. You learn an awful lot about yourself- about your limits, your endurance, your capabilities¦I think that everybody has a certain level of fear. The question is how we manage it. And I have managed to be able to control it enough in order to do my job.”
