I yearned for a long, happy marriage with one person.

I believe in living each day as it comes, to the best of my ability. When it's done, I put it away, remembering that there will be a tomorrow to take it's place. If I have any philosophy, that's it. To me it's not a fatalistic attitude.

Part of the joy of dancing is conversation. Trouble is, some men can't talk and dance at the same time.

Beauty is a valuable asset, but it is not the whole cheese.

Even married people have differences of opinion, I'm told.

Hollywood is like an empty wastebasket.
