I've had a lot of unhappiness in my life — and a lot of happiness. Who doesn't? Maybe I've learned enough to be able to guide my daughters.

All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved.

When you're in love you're living, you matter.

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.

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

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.

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