I'll just stay in [show business] till they stuff me like Trigger, when I drop dead.

I miss the movies. Still, I understood that my kind of movie has had its day. I thought it was over for me.

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

I gave it all that I had, and it's gratifying that others seem to be receiving it so well.

It is very rewarding to walk out on stage, feeling the love and reception.

Donald O'Connor was in the film [ 'Singin' in the Rain' ] as well, and he was only 27 years old. So we were closer in age, and had more fun together on the set. Gene was more my teacher and mentor.

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.
