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

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.

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

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

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

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.
