One thing I turn my back on totally is the unsavory atmosphere at most discos.

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.

You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.

Looking back at my life's voyage, I can only say that it has been a golden trip.

I won't go to movies with permissiveness, four-letter words, or violence. Show me 'E.T.' and 'Chariots of Fire' instead. That's entertainment, not exploitation of the human body.

Hollywood is like an empty wastebasket.

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