If The Dance Is Right, There Shouldn't

Some People Seem To Think That Good Dancers Are Born, But All The Good Dancers I Have Known Are Taught Or Trained.

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.

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.

I Don't Want To Be The Oldest Performer In Captivity... I Don't Want To Look Like A Little Old Man Dancing Out There.

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.
