I Have No Desire To Prove Anything

We Attend To His Later Performances As A Dramatic Actor With Respect, But Watching The Nondancing, Nonsinging Astaire Is Like Watching A Grounded Skylark.

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.

If Your Gonna Go Down, Go Down Swinging!

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?'

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.
