More quotes by Fred Astaire
I inherited the knowledge that sometimes (talents) not only skip a generation, but sometimes run screaming from it. Ironically, it was the singing non-ability that helped feed my love of laughter.
Fred Astaire
I have no desire to prove anything by dancing ... I just dance.
Fred Astaire
Be yourself-but don't be conspicuous.
Fred Astaire
Either the camera will dance, or I will.
Fred Astaire
If it doesn't look easy it is that we have not tried hard enough yet.
Fred Astaire
And that love that wrinkles your nose touches my foolish heart.
Fred Astaire
For ballroom dancing, remember that your partners have their own distinctive styles also. Cultivate flexibility. Be able to adapt your style to that of your partner. In doing so, you are not surrendering your individuality, but blending it with that of your partner.
Fred Astaire
I had some ballet training but didn't like it. It was like a game to me.
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
If we followed our own advice, we'd be successful.
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
Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That's the greatest dancer of the century.
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
Slippery stages were the terror of my life.
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
I'm just a hoofer with a spare set of tails.
Fred Astaire
Do it big, do it right, and do it with style.
Fred Astaire
Why didn't you tell me I was in love with you?
Fred Astaire
It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable.
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
