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.

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

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

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

Men fell in love with Gilda, but they wake up with me.

Dancing in Tijuana when I was 13 — that was my 'summer camp.' How else do you think I could keep up with Fred Astaire when I was 19?
