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

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

I haven’t had everything from life. I’ve had too much.

I think all women have a certain elegance about them which is destroyed when they take off their clothes.

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

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

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.
