Fred Astaire Thinking Quotations

People think I was born in top hat and tails.

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.

Some people seem to think that good dancers are born, but all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained..
