I don't have to retire to be happy.

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.

My belief also is that Marilyn Monroe passed away long before she should have left us.

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

The only way you learn is by failure.

That's what a writer does; they make things up and that makes for good reading.
