When you have a Dancing partner, there's always gonna be a moment where the girl's gonna cry, Ginger didn't do that. But, most every other girl I've worked with have cried because they said "aah, I can't do it" and I have to go "Yes, you can, Shut up!" and they do do it.

If it doesn't look easy it is that we have not tried hard enough yet.

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

If your gonna go down, go down swinging!

Be yourself-but don't be conspicuous.

If the dance is right, there shouldn't be a single superfluous movement.

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?'
