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

What surprises me in life are not the marriages that fail, but the marriages that succeed.

I never really thought of myself as a sex goddess; I felt I was more a comedian who could dance.

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

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

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.

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