- Gene Kelly: When you dance with Fred Astaire, you really have to be on your toes. This number from "Ziegfield Follies" was the only time we had a chance to work together. But, I'd change my name to Ginger if we could do it again.
- Gene Kelly: [Referring to Fred Astaire] Because of his ingenuity and precision, audiences never realized how much incredible effort Fred poured into his work. He made it appear so easy. In "Royal Wedding", Fred danced with a hat rack. And, as usual, he made his partner look good.
- Gene Kelly: Fred Astaire was and is a unique talent. There'll never be another like him and - that's what I love about our profession. Cause every so often there's an artist comes along who is impossible to compare with anyone else.
