I have no desire to prove anything by dancing ... I just dance.

I just told my agent to forget all other projects for me. I was waiting for Audrey Hepburn. She asked for me, and I was ready. This could be the last and only opportunity I’d have to work with the great and lovely Audrey Hepburn and I was not missing it. Period.

I don't remember anybody ever pointing me out as a dancing prodigy, but I played a not bad second base.

If we followed our own advice, we'd be successful.

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

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.

Slippery stages were the terror of my life.
