~By Eric Carr ~

~By Deborah Bull ~
Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave. I can't believe you put yourself out there like that'. If that inspires some girl out there, then great, because boys aren't the only ones who get to have fun. We get to have fun too.
~By Monique Coleman ~
We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.

~By Alexa Vega ~
Compared to dancing, films seemed to me to be the work of lay bums. There was no physical pain; it was enough to say and imagine what was in the script. It was very easy for me.
~By Victoria Abril ~
I commissioned this artist to make these silver tomahawks by hand. Larry Sellers, who plays Cloud Dancing on the show, blessed and cleansed them and all.
~By Joe Lando ~
The history of all big jazz bands shows was, first they played for dancing, and then they played for singing.
~By Norman Granz ~

~By Ronnie Spector ~
So many dancers paint. I used to paint. I started again recently. While I was dancing, I was very busy with my career. Start something else that makes use of your creative ability because if you don't you will die inside as a person.
~By Katherine Dunham ~
It took a brave editor in the U.S. to sign a contract for Dancing Girls, and without her belief in the book, I'm not sure it would ever have found its way into print.
~By Louise Brown ~

~By Suzanne Farrell ~
I think one of the most difficult challenges in show business is the challenge of longevity and to constantly realize and reveal what's already been there - like doing stage and singing and dancing in New York. I haven't been that far out of my comfort zone in a while.
~By Blair Underwood ~

~By Lee Trevino ~
I've learned one thing about life. We're a good deal like that ball, dancing on the fountain. We know as little about the forces that move us, and move the world around us, as that empty ball does.
~By Ardel Wray ~
I don't see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don't define them separately, so I can't say one has helped the other, It's all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing.
~By Bebe Neuwirth ~

Well, of course a boxing match is hard because boxing isn't set for you to do good. You have to force your will upon someone, but dancing you don't have to force your will. It should be a lot easier because if I make a mistake I don't get hit.

~By Henry Ellis ~
You can't fool television viewers with dancing girls and flashing lights.

~By Chris Frantz ~
I get amazed, I can't look at it but about 10 seconds, at these politicians dancing around this, dancing around this, I'm trying to find a correct name for it, this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men.
~By Jimmy Swaggart ~
The user's going to pick dancing pigs over security every time.
~By Bruce Schneier ~

~By Horace Walpole ~
The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.
~By James Brown ~
I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.
~By Gene Kelly ~
Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.

~By Frank McCourt ~
In dancing with the enemy one follows his steps even if counting under one's breath.
