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

Basically, I am a good, gentle person, but I am attracted to mean personalities.

Movies were much better in the days when I was doing them.

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.

Who wouldn't prefer having breakfast in bed to getting up at the crack of dawn and having a cup of coffee in a studio makeup department?

After all, a girl is... well, a girl. It's nice to be told you're successful at it.

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