More quotes by Fred Astaire
I have never had anything that I can remember in the business - and that includes all the movies and the stage shows and everything - that I didn't enjoy. I didn't like some of the small-time vaudeville, because we weren't going on and getting better. Aside from that, I didn't dislike anything.
Fred Astaire
Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That's the greatest dancer of the century.
Fred Astaire
If we followed our own advice, we'd be successful.
Fred Astaire
Either the camera will dance, or I will.
Fred Astaire
When working on my choreography I am not always receptive to outside suggestions or opinions. I believe that if you have something in mind in the way of a creation, such as a new dance, a sequence, or an effect, you are certain to come up with inaccurate criticism and damaging results if you go around asking for opinions.
Fred Astaire
Dancing is a sweat job.
Fred Astaire
Of course, Ginger was able to accomplish sex through dance. We told more through our movements instead of the big clinch. We did it all in the dance.
Fred Astaire
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.
Fred Astaire
Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.
Fred Astaire
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.
Fred Astaire
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.
Fred Astaire
I'm just a hoofer with a spare set of tails.
Fred Astaire
I don't remember anybody ever pointing me out as a dancing prodigy, but I played a not bad second base.
Fred Astaire
And that love that wrinkles your nose touches my foolish heart.
Fred Astaire
I have no desire to prove anything by dancing ... I just dance.
Fred Astaire
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.
Fred Astaire
We attend to his later performances as a dramatic actor with respect, but watching the nondancing, nonsinging Astaire is like watching a grounded skylark.
Fred Astaire
I had some ballet training but didn't like it. It was like a game to me.
Fred Astaire
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.
Fred Astaire
In dealing with a girl or a horse, one lets nature take its course
