Fred Astaire

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it youve got to start young.

I just put my feet in the air and move them around.

I don't want to be the oldest performer in captivity... I don't want to look like a little old man dancing out there.

Disco is just jitterbug.

Do it big do it right and do it with style.

This search for what you want is like tracking something that doesn't want to be tracked. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable.

Chance is the fools name for Fate.

I have no desire to prove anything by dancing. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around.

The hardest job kids face today is learning good manners without seeing any.

Dancing is a sweat job.

The higher up you go, the more mistakes you are allowed. Right at the top, if you make enough of them, it's considered to be your style.
