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

From the time I was twelve I was dancing for bread and butter, but in my heart I was always an actress.

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

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

Basically, I am a good, gentle person, but I am attracted to mean personalities.

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.

No one can be Gilda twenty-four hours a day.
