Fred Astaire was my dream dancer.

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

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

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

The Fred Astaire movies made a huge impression on 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.'

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

I remember vividly seeing 'Tarzan' and Fred Astaire, the Chaplin films, Fred Astaire musicals, MGM, because of my mother. She was just interested in everything and she took me to opera and ballet, and then ballet got me hooked.

My mom was a huge fan of 'Dirty Dancing.' I couldn't quite get a break, and she was like, 'Patrick Swayze was a dancer!' And Fred Astaire. I started dancing, and it led me to acting. It helps with fighting or whatever choreography in general.
