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.

I just put my feet in the ground and move them around.

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.

When working on my choreography I am not always receptive to outside suggestions or opinions. I believe that if you have something in mind in the way of a creation, such as a new dance, a sequence, or an effect, you are certain to come up with inaccurate criticism and damaging results if you go around asking for opinions.

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

Of course, Ginger was able to accomplish sex through dance. We told more through our movements instead of the big clinch. We did it all in the dance.
