When you're happy, you don't count the years.

The kids today, they think they can dance with their faces.

'Flying Down to Rio' established RKO as a leader in musical film production throughout the 1930s. The film helped to rescue the studio from its financial straits and it gave a real boost to my movie career.

My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.

Over the years, myths were built up about my relationship with Fred Astaire. The general public thought he was a Svengali, who snapped his fingers for his little Trilby to obey; in their eyes, my career was his creation.

My faith in humanity leads me to believe that people are looking for something more elevating than the sordid details of the intimate aspects of one's personal life.

If I've learned any one lesson from life, it's this: If you don't stand for something, you will stand for anything.
