15 Adam Garcia Quotes
- “I think ‘Tap Dogs’ has lasted so long because people have a natural interest in tap dancing. This form of dancing can’t be dated, it’s such an intriguing form of dance because the feet are also an instrument.” (Interview, QuoteFancy, n.d.)
- “I don’t care if people think I’m gay. I know I’m not, so it doesn’t bother me.” (Interview, BrainyQuote, n.d.)
- “Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things—it almost becomes second nature to do so.” (Interview, BrainyQuote, n.d.)
- “During ‘Saturday Night Fever’ at the end of the first act dance number I tried to perform a split-jump, only I can’t do them so I ended up on my ass followed by the most unsightly backward roll out of it, followed by the cast falling over in laughter and a good portion of the audience too.” (Interview, BrainyQuote, n.d.)
