fate names fool
Chance is the fool's name for Fate
attitude thinking corn
But I do nothing that I don't like, such as "inventing" up to the arty or "down" to the corny. I happen to relish a certain type of corn. What I think is the really dangerous approach is the "let's be artistic" attitude. I know that artistry just happens.
life ifs
If your gonna go down, go down swinging!
successful advice fortune-cookie
If we followed our own advice, we'd be successful.
fashion wall squares
I often take a brand-new suit or hat and throw it up against the wall a few times to get that stiff, square newness out of it.
dance movement superfluous
If the dance is right, there shouldn't be a single superfluous movement.
girl yes-you-can dancing
When you have a Dancing partner, there's always gonna be a moment where the girl's gonna cry, Ginger didn't do that. But, most every other girl I've worked with have cried because they said "aah, I can't do it" and I have to go "Yes, you can, Shut up!" and they do do it.
kissing dancing making-love
I don't make love by kissing, I make love by dancing.
dance jobs sweat
Dancing is a sweat job.
research looks enough
If it doesn't look easy it is that we have not tried hard enough yet.
motivational dance moving
I just put my feet in the ground and move them around.
opportunity waiting missing
I just told my agent to forget all other projects for me. I was waiting for Audrey Hepburn. She asked for me, and I was ready. This could be the last and only opportunity I’d have to work with the great and lovely Audrey Hepburn and I was not missing it. Period.
people dancer want
There comes a day when people begin to say: "Why doesn't that old duffer retire?" I want to get out while they're still saying Astaire is a hell of a dancer.
dance mean desire
I have no desire to prove anything by my work. I have never used it as an outlet or as a means of expressing myself. I just dance.
