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

I can't take his genius any more.

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

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.

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.

Increasingly, stars are recruited from the ranks of professional models, with the result that today`s starlets are better dressed and better groomed than ever before, though it is doubtful if they are better actresses.

I guess the only jewels of my life were the pictures I made with Fred Astaire.
