Fred Astaire in his own words
1December 8, 2014 by Ville Raivio
“[I am] bad-tempered, impatient, hard to please, critical… At the risk of disillusionment, I must admit that I don`t like top hats, white ties and tails. I am always arriving at dinner parties not wearing a dinner jacket when I should, or vice versa… The carefree, the best-dressed, the debonair Fred Astaire! What a myth! My hats are too small, my coats are too short, my walk is loose. I am full of faults. I have a sense of humor, but it won’t always work for me. I am always blowing my top over the wrong things… I tell you, I am a very annoying guy.”

In my opinion, these are the words of a person in touch with themselves and does not need other people’s opinion’s which may color the truth.
