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

I like having my picture taken and being a glamorous person. Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient, I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero.

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

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

Every man I have ever known has fallen in love with Gilda and awakened with me.

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

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.
