I didn't want to move or act like a rich man. I wanted to dance in a pair of jeans. I wanted to dance like the man in the streets.

I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.

America now has more and better dancers than they have ever had in the history of the country, but that won't account for the public wants to see.

I never wanted to be a dancer. It's true! I wanted to be a shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Any man who looks like a sissy while dancing is just a lousy dancer.

I love rhythmic dancing - I'm not derogating it at all. It's just that sometimes you want to whisper, "I adore you." And for that you need strings and woodwinds.

I may be rancid butter, but I'm on your side of the bread.
