I liked being married instead of the girl who's looking for a guy.

I've never met an animal I didn't like, and I can't say the same thing about people.

I'm not going to go around with a long face - that's a waste of time

The succession of cheerful, period musicals I made, plus Oscar Levant's widely publicized remark about my virginity, contributed to what has been called my "image", which is a word that baffles me. There never was any intent on my part either in my acting or in my private life to create any such thing as an image.

You haven't lived until you've lived with a cat.

I just feel so fortunate and so blessed to have been able to entertain people in the theatres and on record, it's just an amazing life that I've experienced.

I like to sing love songs.
