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

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

Increasingly, stars are recruited from the ranks of professional models, with the result that today`s starlets are better dressed and better groomed than ever before, though it is doubtful if they are better actresses.

I always thought that if I ever got good reviews I'd be happy. It's so empty. It's never what I wanted, ever. All I wanted was just what everybody else wants - to be loved.

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?
