More quotes by 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
Image
I don't remember anybody ever pointing me out as a dancing prodigy, but I played a not bad second base.
Fred Astaire
Image
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
Image
Slippery stages were the terror of my life.
Fred Astaire
Image
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
Image
Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That's the greatest dancer of the century.
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.

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.

Why didn't you tell me I was in love with you?
Fred Astaire

Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.
Fred Astaire
Image
I am bit sending messages with my feet. All I ever wanted was not to come up empty. I did it for the dough and the old applause.
Fred Astaire
Image
I have no desire to prove anything by dancing ... I just dance.
Fred Astaire
Image
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?'

Chance is the fool's name for Fate

If we followed our own advice, we'd be successful.

In dealing with a girl or a horse, one lets nature take its course
Fred Astaire
Image
If it doesn't look easy it is that we have not tried hard enough yet.
Fred Astaire
Image
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

Either the camera will dance, or I will.
