I'll be like Irving Berlin: "There's no business like show business."

I really can't answer that off the top of my head, my favorite movies. Each one individually was wonderfully made, wonderfully directed, wonderfully written, wonderfully acted, and each one was entirely different.I like romantic movies. I sort of go for the older movies.

I never thought about doing men. Never.

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

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 tour all year, 42 weeks a year, so it's hard for me to remember every place I play.

I started to earn money because we didn't have money.
