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.

I feel sorry for the young people today. I think there's too much paparazzi and not enough protection.

I lead such a boring life.

Every secret gets known to the world.

I'm just a movie fan. I used to go to the movies just to watch movies.

If you have a secret, keep it to yourself.

I always found that kind of hard, and even though Gene Kelly was also a taskmaster, Bobby [Fosse] was tougher.
