More quotes by Fred Astaire
Be yourself-but don't be conspicuous.
Fred Astaire
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?'
Fred Astaire
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
Either the camera will dance, or I will.
Fred Astaire
Why didn't you tell me I was in love with you?
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
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
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
In dealing with a girl or a horse, one lets nature take its course
Fred Astaire
If it doesn't look easy it is that we have not tried hard enough yet.
Fred Astaire
Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.
Fred Astaire
If the dance is right, there shouldn't be a single superfluous movement.
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 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
I have no desire to prove anything by dancing ... I just dance.
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
I had some ballet training but didn't like it. It was like a game to me.
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
Slippery stages were the terror of my life.
Fred Astaire
