Doing those costume pictures was wonderful.
Donald O'Connor

Going up the walls doing somersaults, that trick took a couple of days.
Donald O'Connor

I didn't smoke. I didn't smoke then, and I don't smoke now. We worked every day - that keeps you in pretty good shape. We could go for a long time in one take. You had to be in good shape with Gene Kelly.
Donald O'Connor

Donald O'Connor

I'm not a good choreographer: I can't remember what I put down.
Donald O'Connor

It's so wonderful... if your whole day is rotten, once they start the music, it seems to melt away.
Donald O'Connor

Remember, if you do the same act for 20, 30 years it gets a little boring unless you've got something else going for you... And the orchestra really kept you going. They'd laugh at all your jokes, even if they'd been hearing them for the last 30 years.
Donald O'Connor

Donald O'Connor

They put me in a harness, like a horse, to learn the back somersault. It was weird up there when I put on that harness for the first time. The courage came with practice.
Donald O'Connor
