You have two choices—you can see it for what it is, or you can see it for what it could be.

I spent many years hearing hurtful comments about, 'Oh she’s a dilettante, she’ll be at it for a few months and she’ll be out of it,' that sort of thing. But that didn’t deter me at all, it just hurt me more than anything. Because I’m very determined to do what I have done over these almost 30 years. And I didn’t get too much encouragement in the beginning from other people in the theatre world. And I don’t blame them, they didn’t know me from anybody, and I didn’t come up through the ranks. And I wasn’t young, I was doing this in my 40s when I started. So I wasn’t exactly the new kid on the block, but I was the new lady on the block. I was able to put blinders on and just say to myself keep going, you can do this, you know you want to do it. You have good taste, you have good instincts, don’t listen to the noise. And I kind of still have to say that to myself every day. There are always naysayers, and there are always people that are jealous of your success, and it’s unfortunate, because it’s such a small industry that you really wish everybody would be supportive of everybody else. But that’s often not the case.

Pat Collins takes us on a journey explaining how a well reviewed but little known indie British film was adapted into a multiple Tony Award-winning masterpiece on this special Kinky Boots edition of Arts in the City.

Stark appears around the 21 minute mark along with Annaleigh Ashford and Billy Porter. A huge thank you to the kind individual who submitted this video!
