00:00Was there ever a time that you did consider giving up your career for him?
00:04I thought about it in my head, yes,
00:09but every time I thought about it, I thought,
00:13maybe, maybe I won't have to.
00:16But he had said to me, you know,
00:19Ruthie, can you, he used to call me Ruth,
00:23Ruth, can you imagine what would have to happen
00:25if you want to do eight shows a week?
00:27Like, the cost of that alone,
00:30of having to sniff a dog the theatre every night
00:32and to have protection and to, you know,
00:36that in itself would have been hard and expensive, I would have thought.
00:43And I, but I always thought we'd find a way.
00:49And I kept thinking about Edward and Mrs. Simpson.
00:54I know he wasn't going to go on the throne,
00:59but, and Arroyal has now done that, you know, right or wrong.
01:04We, you know, that's a whole other discussion.
01:07But, you know, I suppose I always hoped that maybe there was an answer somewhere.
01:15I can imagine you spent a lot of time thinking of possible scenarios where it could work.
01:20Yes, absolutely I did.
01:24And there were times when I thought, you know, which I'm sure, possibly, that Megan did as well.
01:31You think, well, it could be the greatest role of my life.
01:36And, you know, I could do some good.
01:39But the bottom line is that I was born to sing, dance and act.
01:45And I still get a kick out of it.
01:48And if I'd have given it up, I would have been miserable.
01:51Yes.
01:52It's not my kind of life.
