If I Played A Tough Kid On

I Wanted To Do New Things With Dance, Adapt It To The Motion Picture Medium.

When Ginger Rogers Danced With Astaire, It Was The Only Time In The Movies When You Looked At The Man, Not The Woman.

There Is A Certain Amount Of Pornography That Exists Throughout Purple Rain, But The Appeal Is Obvious. You Can Really Pick That Picture Apart And See Where "a" Fits Into "b" And So On. It Was Very Wisely Done.

At The Time The Quickest Way To Establish Yourself As An American Was To Throw A Little Bit Of Tap Into Your Dance - Even When It Wasn't Called For. But What Also Helped Me Was The Fact That I Was Dancing In Roles That I Had Played.

If Fred Astaire Is The Cary Grant Of Dance, I'm The Marlon Brando.
