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

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.

To Yesterday's Companionship and Tomorrow's Reunion.

I can't take his genius any more.

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