I have over five thousand costumes and props and cars, and I have a twenty-five thousand square foot warehouse full of memorabilia.
I loved Frank [O'Connor], he was wonderful...just don't get on his bad side. I don't think I would have wanted to marry him, but I probably should have since I married idiots anyway.
A lot of people don't feel like doing very much. Or one project is really all they can do at one time. I can have five or six things going at the same time. It doesn't bother me or tire me, but sometimes it does rattle me.
I'm just a movie fan. I used to go to the movies just to watch movies.
Never give power of attorney.
Every performer should learn a little bit of everything. Most performers today only play the guitar.
Donald O'Connor was in the film [ 'Singin' in the Rain' ] as well, and he was only 27 years old. So we were closer in age, and had more fun together on the set. Gene was more my teacher and mentor.
I always found that kind of hard, and even though Gene Kelly was also a taskmaster, Bobby [Fosse] was tougher.
It is very rewarding to walk out on stage, feeling the love and reception.
You probably only know what you've read [about Marilyn Monroe].You didn't know her. The people who talk about her didn't know her either.
I began as a true beginner, not knowing how to dance or perform. I just entered a local contest in town as a joke, because if you entered you got a free blouse and scarf.
I think men like the boobie shows. Vegas will always be Vegas.
I have over 5000 costumes, and the furniture and memorabilia that goes with them.
I also have a pair of ruby red slippers from the 'Wizard of Oz' and Dorothy's gingham dress...and on and on. I saved as much as I could and still do, because people are still interested in it.
I'm very strict with myself. I'm an Aries and sort of a challenge to myself.
I lead such a boring life.
I've always had my guard. I have my cook and my guard. I want to eat, and I want to live.
It's sad when you see someone do really well and then you just don't hear about them anymore.
I just keep traveling and doing live shows.
We now have no record of these famous stage plays, so it turned out to be very narrow-minded thinking.
I wasn't wattching television when I was a youngster; there was the radio.
I loved working with Bette Davis. Bette Davis was great to work with and a wonderful teacher, and very kind to me. We became good friends.
I'll be like Irving Berlin: "There's no business like show business."
I don't think it's the fans, I think it's the fact that they get paid a lot of money for a picture of you doing something wrong. They don't seem to be interested in anything good any more.I think people appreciate what you do.
I've always had life threats, and they've always been for real.
