Bob Fosse

“The time to sing is when your emotional level is too high to just speak anymore, and the time to dance is when your emotions are just too strong to only sing about how you feel.”

“Live like you'll die tomorrow, work like you don't need the money, and dance like nobody's watching.”

“It's showtime, folks!”

“My life is an unfinished rehearsal.”

“I'm a perfectionist. I'm very critical of myself. It's a lonely life. It's a miserable life.”

“I believe in the discipline of mastering the craft. You can have all the genius you want, but if you don't have the discipline, you've got nothing.”

“I thank God that I wasn't a good dancer. I might have been a half-assed stripper.”

“If you think you can do better, then do better. Don't complain about it. You don't have to bitch. Just do better.”

“I don't think in terms of art. I think in terms of entertainment.”

“Directing is a very lonely life. You are in a room with a typewriter, and that's it.”

“Don't dance for the audience; dance for yourself.”
