~By Zac Efron ~
David Lee Roth had the idea that if you covered a successful song, you were half way home. C'mon - Van Halen doing 'Dancing in the Streets'? It was stupid. I started feeling like I would rather bomb playing my own songs than be successful playing someone else's music.
~By Eddie Van Halen ~
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 ~

Dancing with Kate Beckinsale made me very excited.
~By Richard Roxburgh ~

~By Neve Campbell ~
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 ~

~By Cesar Romero ~
They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.

~By Henry Ellis ~
I adore dancing.
~By Vivien Leigh ~
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 Evander Holyfield ~

~By Dan Fogelberg ~
Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.
