From the time I was three and a half... as soon as I could stand on my own feet, I was given dance lessons.

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

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

Every man I knew went to bed with Gilda... and woke up with me.

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

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.

After all, a girl is... well, a girl. It's nice to be told you're successful at it.
