    • Gene Kelly: I wanted to invent some kind of American dance that was danced to the music that I grew up on: Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart and Irving Berlin. So I evolved a style that certainly didn't catch on right away - but I had some good mentors in New York who encouraged me.
    • Gene Kelly: When Ginger Rogers danced with Astaire, it was the only time in the movies when you looked at the man, not the woman.
    • Gene Kelly: I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.
