Fred Astaire was my dream dancer.

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

I studied dancing for 13 years. And loved to dance. Always wanted to dance with Fred Astaire.

No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.

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

My father danced a lot. He was called 'the French Fred Astaire.'

Astaire never thought of what he was doing as balletic, but Kelly was always trying to dance with women on points. And his choreography is so showy and flashy. He always looks self-satisfied to me.

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.'

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.

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