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.

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

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?'

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

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.

The unpadded shoulders, the three-buttoned long and boxy coat, the too-short, thin pants, and the thin ties with striped buttoned shirts in dark colors-well, I suppose this may go very well with some personalities but it's not for me. To me, all such look like TV producers. Maybe they want to.
