[on Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly] I can watch Astaire anytime. I don`t think he ever made a wrong move. He was a perfectionist. He would work on a few bars for hours until it was just the way he wanted it. Gene was the same way. They both wanted perfection, even though they were completely different personalities.

[On explaining why she never tapped on-screen] I was pulled up as a ballet dancer and I wasn`t used to pounding the floor with bent knees.

The censors were always there when I was on the set. When I was held up. in a lift [in "Deep in My Heart"] they were up on ladders to see if I was properly covered.

[on Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly] Fred could never do the lifts Gene did and never wanted to. I`d say they were the two greatest dancing personalities who were ever on the screen. Each has a distinctive style. Each is a joy to work with. But it`s like comparing apples and oranges. They`re both delicious.

Fred moved like glass. Physically it was easy to dance with him. It was not as demanding on me. I didn`t need the same vitality and strength.
