The way I look at a musical, you are commenting on the human condition no matter what you do. A musical may be light and frivolous, but by its very nature, it makes some kind of social comment.

You dance love, and you dance joy, and you dance dreams.

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.

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

If Fred Astaire is the Cary Grant of dance, I'm the Marlon Brando.

My mother had gotten a job as a receptionist at a dancing school and had the idea that we should open our own dancing school; we did, and it prospered.

Fred Astaire represented the aristocracy, I represented the proletariat.

When Ginger Rogers danced with Astaire, it was the only time in the movies when you looked at the man, not the woman.

I took it as it came and it happened to be very nice.

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

I wanted to say a lot but wasn't sure where to start

I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

I got IRS records to finance what I wanted to do.

Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time.

I do not believe the accusations against my husband, not for one second.

We might say God's wrath is His justice in action, rendering to everyone his just due, which, because of our sin is always judgment.

Scenery can be a violent stimulant.

If you want to do rock and roll, forget about those who've come after '65.

We all have different relationships with music. But the music is always there.

My mind still runs too fast. If we get the wrong fabric or something is stitched the wrong way, I get so angry and so flummoxed that I start spelling my words, just to slow myself down.
