Every actor. every director, everybody needs an Oscar. You have to have that little statue in Hollywood or else you are nothing.

From the time I was three and a half... as soon as I could stand on my own feet, I was given dance lessons.

I've had a lot of unhappiness in my life — and a lot of happiness. Who doesn't? Maybe I've learned enough to be able to guide my daughters.

I like having my picture taken and being a glamorous person. Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient, I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero.

We are all tied to our destiny and there is no way we can liberate ourselves.

When I look back on my marriages, or the breakups, sure I know the pain I went through, but that's part of life and it has its own value.

I guess the only jewels of my life were the pictures I made with Fred Astaire.
