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

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.

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.

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

Old age - that's when a woman takes vitamins A through G, and still looks like H.

I always thought that if I ever got good reviews I'd be happy. It's so empty. It's never what I wanted, ever. All I wanted was just what everybody else wants - to be loved.
