Gene Kelly Quotes
“I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.”

“I never wanted to be a dancer.  It’s true!  I wanted to be a shortstop for the Pittsburg Pirates.”

“When Ginger Rogers danced with Astaire, it was the only time in the movies when you looked at the man, not the woman.”

“Very professional - but infuriating.  [On Barbra Streisand]”

“I’d studied dance in Chicago every summer end taught it all winter, and I was well-rounded.  I wasn’t worried about getting a job on Broadway.  In fact, I got one the first week.”

“My mother had gotten a job as a receptionist at a dancing school and had the idea that we should open our own dancing school; we did, and it prospered.”
