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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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