Quote
Maureen Cummings:
If this is what I wanted, I wouldn't be as unhappy as I've been. I'd have friends, I'd sleep well, I wouldn't throw up half the things that I eat.
Nancy Cummings:
You watch your weight. There's nothing wrong with that!
Maureen Cummings:
Mom, I'm telling you I'm unhappy and sick. I can't do this any more!
Nancy Cummings:
But it's your dream. You just don't give up on your dream.
Maureen Cummings:
It's your dream, and it matters more to you than anything ever did to me. So I did it, but I can't any more.
Nancy Cummings:
I know what regret feels like, and I don't want that for you.
Maureen Cummings:
That's what ballet would be. A life of wishing that I found something I loved, instead of something I just happened to do well. I'm not you, Mom. You didn't have the feet. I don't have the heart.
