I dug up my dad's old Fred Astaire tapes, and now I find him super-inspiring. He's, like, one of the best dancers.

When Fred Astaire danced, everything in this world was perfect.

Fred Astaire was my dream dancer.

I loved Fred Astaire's way of dancing. He led you into the dance.

The Fred Astaire movies made a huge impression on me.

Fred Astaire was a more formal, trained dancer who loved waltzing and only danced with the girls.

I started dancing when I saw Fred Astaire in 'Flying Down to Rio,' at approximately nine years old. Fred Astaire influenced me, more than anything, to be in 'show business.'

Fred Astaire never let you see him sweat, but he sweetened his deceptively casual virtuosity with just enough charm to make it irresistible.

My uncle, who was a little more flamboyant, always said the guy who dressed the best was Fred Astaire.

As a dancer, obviously, we are all inspired by Michael Jackson, and I always looked up to Gene Kelly. He was a bigger version of Fred Astaire, and he was amazing as well.
