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.

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 haven’t had everything from life. I’ve had too much.

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

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

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.

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.
