Quotes

 * The Twist is putting out a cigarette with both feet or coming out of the shower and wiping off your bottom with a towel to the beat of the music. If you're wiping off your bottom with a towel to the beat of the music, you can't touch your partner at the same time. That instantly gives us this thing we call dancing apart to the beat.

 * I've been baking this cake for the last 30 years, and all of a sudden the Fat Boys come and put icing on it. And it looks like we're gonna put some candles on it and blow 'em out.
