I think the deafness affects me more than I realise; I think it makes me more tired. I loathe parties. I attend, smile and leave.
But as far as my work is concerned, I see no impediment, and various advantages, to being deaf.
I genuinely enjoy talking one-to-one. I have no shyness about that.
When I was young I used to smother myself with olive oil mixed with a dash of vinegar to keep the flies away and lay in the sunshine for hours on end. But we knew no better then. Now we know how stupid that was.
I can not remember even thinking that I was deaf when I was dancing.
