If you're a dancer, study singing. You have to do everything and do it well. You have to study acting. You have to study all of it. You have to find workshops, get out on the stage...and fail.

Marilyn Monroe was a very sweet girl, she was a very innocent girl.

I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.

Joe DiMaggio was quite mean to Marilyn Monroe when they were married. But after she died, he did tend to her grave, which made up for it.

I do twenty minutes every time the refrigerator door opens and the light comes on.

My favorite [costume in collection] is the white dress Marilyn Monroe wore in the subway breeze scene in 'The Seven Year Itch.'

Singin' in the Rain (1952) and childbirth were the two hardest things I ever had to do in my life.
