We are all tied to our destiny and there is no way we can liberate ourselves.

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

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

All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved.

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

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

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