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

When you're in love you're living, you matter.

Sensitive, shy-of course I was. The fun of acting is to become someone else.

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.

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

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

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.
