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

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

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

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

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.

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.
