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

Dancing in Tijuana when I was 13 — that was my 'summer camp.' How else do you think I could keep up with Fred Astaire when I was 19?

I can't take his genius any more.

Sensitive, shy-of course I was. The fun of acting is to become someone else.

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.

From the time I was twelve I was dancing for bread and butter, but in my heart I was always an actress.

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