How do I keep fit? I lay down a lot.

The future of dance will always be tied up with the public's acceptance of the star. If they accept the star, then they'll accept the dance.

I never wanted to be a dancer. It's true! I wanted to be a shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

I took it as it came and it happened to be very nice.

Fred Astaire represented the aristocracy, I represented the proletariat.

Come on with the rain / I’ve a smile on my face.

If Fred Astaire is the Cary Grant of dance, I'm the Marlon Brando.

Any man who looks like a sissy while dancing is just a lousy dancer.

I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.

You dance love, and you dance joy, and you dance dreams.

I never will believe there is such a thing as a great actor.

Movies bore me; especially my own.

Stars today are just masturbation images.

I've still got the same attitude I had when I started. I haven't changed anything but my underwear.

Sure I was glad to see John Wayne win the Oscar I'm always glad to see the fat lady win the Cadillac on TV, too.

I started out to be a sex fiend, but I couldn't pass the physical.

These kids only want to talk about acting method and motivation. in my day all we talked about was screwing and overtime.

Every two or three years, I knock off for a while. That way I`m always the new girl in the whorehouse.

I kept the same suit for six years and the same dialogue. They just changed the title of the picture and the leading lady.
