The higher up you go, the more mistakes you are allowed. Right at the top, if you make enough of them, it's considered to be your style.

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.

When you have a Dancing partner, there's always gonna be a moment where the girl's gonna cry, Ginger didn't do that. But, most every other girl I've worked with have cried because they said "aah, I can't do it" and I have to go "Yes, you can, Shut up!" and they do do it.

Fred Astaire 61 quotes

There comes a day when people begin to say, 'Why doesn't that old duffer retire?' I want to get out while they're still saying Astaire is a hell of a dancer.

Oh, God! That boy moves in a very exceptional way. That's the greatest dancer of the century.

Fred Astaire 61 quotes

But I do nothing that I don't...

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.

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.

If we followed our own advice, we'd be successful.

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.

I had some ballet training but didn't like it. It was like a game to me.

Fred Astaire 61 quotes

I have never had anything that...

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.

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?'

There comes a day when people begin to say: 'Why doesn't that old duffer retire?' I want to get out while they're still saying Astaire is a hell of a dancer.

I don't make love by kissing, I make love by dancing.

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.
