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

What surprises me in life are not the marriages that fail, but the marriages that succeed.

Who wouldn't prefer having breakfast in bed to getting up at the crack of dawn and having a cup of coffee in a studio makeup department?

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

I never really thought of myself as a sex goddess; I felt I was more a comedian who could dance.

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

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