I do a lot of things wrong. I lose my temper, and I hate waiting in line, but do I take drugs? No.

I began as a true beginner, not knowing how to dance or perform. I just entered a local contest in town as a joke, because if you entered you got a free blouse and scarf.

Gene Kelly was a great dancer and I was lucky to be in 'Singin' in the Rain.' He was my teacher when I was 17 years old, when he was 37 years old. He taught me everything.

Travel is hard, but entertaining is joy.

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

The only way you learn is by failure.

A lot of people don't feel like doing very much. Or one project is really all they can do at one time. I can have five or six things going at the same time. It doesn't bother me or tire me, but sometimes it does rattle me.
