People think I was born in top hat and tails.
Dancing is a vertical interpretation of a horizontal intention.
I am bit sending messages with my feet. All I ever wanted was not to come up empty. I did it for the dough and the old applause.

Oh, there's no such thing as my favorite performance. I can't sit here today and look back, and say, Top Hat was better than Easter Parade or any of the others. I just don't look back, period. When I finish with a project, I say 'all right, that's that. What's next?'
