There's nothing revolutionary about Saturday Night Fever . You can see the same kind of movement at your local disco.

For a ridiculous analogy, let's take Purple Rain. If you were to put Purple Rain and The Sound of Music on the desk of a producer, he or she would know that the majority of moviegoers would rather listen to Prince. Since they are in the business of making money, no one can blame them. But if it ever came to the decision of making a film like that I'd say, "No." They are very easy films to make, though. In Purple Rain there is nothing complex about the way that they dance. Or sing. It would be a bit boring for an adult to make that film. It just wouldn't test their métier.

At the time the quickest way to establish yourself as an American was to throw a little bit of tap into your dance - even when it wasn't called for. But what also helped me was the fact that I was dancing in roles that I had played.

The future of dance will always be tied up with the public's acceptance of the star. If they accept the star, then they'll accept the dance.

I still find it almost impossible to relax for more than one day at a time.

I took it as it came and it happened to be very nice.
