I've always had my guard. I have my cook and my guard. I want to eat, and I want to live.

I'm not a cook and I always stick everything in the freezer and then I leave things out, saying 'if it's good today it will be good tomorrow.'

It's sad when you see someone do really well and then you just don't hear about them anymore.

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.

Do I run around deploring the world? No. I'm just not into it. I was brought up that way.

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.

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