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?'

And that love that wrinkles your nose touches my foolish heart.

Some people seem to think that good dancers are born, but all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained.

People think I was born in top hat and tails.

Disco is just jitterbug.

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

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