I think all women have a certain elegance about them which is destroyed when they take off their clothes.

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

All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved.

Movies were much better in the days when I was doing them.

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.

Whatever you write about me, don't make it sad.

Men fell in love with Gilda, but they wake up with me.
