Chance is the fool's name for Fate

I have no desire to prove anything by my work. I have never used it as an outlet or as a means of expressing myself. I just dance.

Be yourself-but don't be conspicuous.

Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.

People think I was born in top hat and tails.

When you're experimenting you have to try so many things before you choose what you want, and you may go days getting nothing but exhaustion.

I have never had anything that I can remember in the business - and that includes all the movies and the stage shows and everything - that I didn't enjoy. I didn't like some of the small-time vaudeville, because we weren't going on and getting better. Aside from that, I didn't dislike anything.
