There's nothing a man can do, that I can't do better and in heels

I don't know which I like best. I love the applause on the stage. But pictures are so fascinating - you reach many millions through them. And you make more money too.

There are no small parts. Only small actors.

My love for ice cream emerged at an early age - and has never left!

Over the years, myths were built up about my relationship with Fred Astaire. The general public thought he was a Svengali, who snapped his fingers for his little Trilby to obey; in their eyes, my career was his creation.

I enjoy sports, and love being involved in any outdoor sport from volleyball to softball. I'm not being immodest when I say I'm a natural athlete.

Looking back at my life's voyage, I can only say that it has been a golden trip.
