Disco is just jitterbug.
men dancing age
I don't want to be the oldest performer in captivity... I don't want to look like a little old man dancing out there.

I had some ballet training but didn't like it. It was like a game to me.

People think I was born in top hat and tails.
white ties hats
I don't like top hats, white ties, and tails.
dance memorable want
This search for what you want is like tracking something that doesn't want to be tracked. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable.
heart wrinkles noses
And that love that wrinkles your nose touches my foolish heart.
easter looks today
Oh, there's no such thing as my favorite performance. I can't sit here today and look back, and say: "Top Hat was better than Easter Parade or any of the others". I just don't look back, period. When I finish with a project, I say: "All right, that's that. What's next?"
dance tails spares
I'm just a hoofer with a spare set of tails.

It's nice that all the composers have said that nobody interprets a lyric like Fred Astaire. But when it comes to selling records I was never worth anything particularly except as a collector's item.

Be yourself-but don't be conspicuous.

We attend to his later performances as a dramatic actor with respect, but watching the nondancing, nonsinging Astaire is like watching a grounded skylark.
dance memorable take-time
It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable.
love-you
Why didn't you tell me i was in love with you?
