I'm surprised by how many people have not seen 'Footloose.'

I grew up in a place that felt very integrated.

Sometimes I feel that 'Footloose' is the rite of passage.

I got a Walkman, I had the 'Footloose' soundtrack and I danced to it constantly.

And out of all the movies, I don't know what it is, I'll always sit down and watch our 'Footloose'. I cry, I get excited, I cheer, my heart pounds. I really enjoy it.

The fame of the rich man dies with him; the fame of the treasure, and not of the man who possessed it, remains.

Many think kids have lots of time and few responsibilities. And that's just not true. They are stressed and under pressure.

I remember Mitch Miller saying every week, This rock and roll stuff will never last. But one doesn't like to bring that up to Mitch.

Information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time.
