I wanted to get that sense of peace and even boredom that comes with long familiarity.

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.

The heads of the studios, like Louis B. Mayer, didn't want to create any more musical stars. So Bobby [Fosse] left and went to New York City to be a choreographer, and created brilliant work.

I loved Frank [O'Connor], he was wonderful...just don't get on his bad side. I don't think I would have wanted to marry him, but I probably should have since I married idiots anyway.

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

Live is exciting, live is real, the people are there.

You have to keep practicing, if you're really going to be good.
