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

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

I grew up in a place that felt very integrated.

I was chubby and awkward, and the only way I could really meet girls was to join children's theater, so that's what I did.

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.

I wouldn't take on the project unless I could have complete creative control in casting.

I was raised a Southern Baptist, and my whole family were Christians. However, my Dad was really into science and astronomy, so I felt very balanced. I still had respect for faith.

I've done movies where I've had to cast actors and teach them to rap, and cast rappers and teach them to act.

And that's how you go on. You lay laughter over the dark parts. The more dark parts, the more you have to laugh. With defiance, with abandon, with hysteria, any way you can.

We live by the power of God.

Know that tomorrow will bring clarity where before was only fog. In the final summation, it is not other's expectations that slay us, but our over compensatory reactions in regard

To insult someone we call him 'besti*l'. For deliberate cruelty and nature, 'human' might be the greater insult.

Stubbornness destroys good advice.

No one had a better sense of luxury than Coco Chanel, She really had the spirit of the 20th Century.

History is remembered by its art, not its war machines.

The law is not abstract, impartially arbitrating between conflicting social classes; it is a tool in the hands of those who govern.

Once introduced discontinuity, once challenge any of the properties of visual space, and as they flow from each other, the whole conceptual framework collapses.
