You knew everybody at all the studios and you saw them often.

If you can believe it, Hollywood wanted to change my birthdate. I was born after Valentine's Day, so they wanted to change it to February 14. A Latin lover should be born on Valentine's Day. I said no.

Now I don't know half of the young people in the industry. It's too spread out, too diffuse.

They would glue the wig to the front of my forehead, and after a while it would give me a headache.

I'm satisfied to go in at the bottom - that's the best way to learn what things are all about.

All kinds of celebrities, political ones as well, are increasingly being targeted. In this country, with all the countless guns.

You knew everybody at all the studios and you saw them often.

I was out dancing with one actress or another. And that got press. Even when it didn't, the whole town knew I was a dancing fool, and since I couldn't very well dance with a man, they saw me dancing with a lady, and they assumed the rest.

I was wearing corn plasters above and below my toes and taping my ankles twice.

But by the time I was 40, everything was winding down. It started after the war. On the plus side, there was more more products and technology. But for me the nightlife was winding down, the glamour, the fun.

Everybody in Hollywood was in Around the World in 80 Days. If you weren't, you left town and made up an excuse.

Because of my age and because there's more work on the small screen. What it's missing in quality it makes up for in quantity. From an actor's selfish point of view.

The make up took about an hour to put on, but the wig was a thing that bothered me more than anything else.

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing here.

I was supposed to be a romancer, either wooing the leading lady or competing with the leading man for her.

People would read all kinds of reaction into it, but Tracy told me himself that half the time he was just standing very still, trying to look sober and composed. That takes nothing away from him. The fact he got away with it was a tribute to his talent.

When someone's acting for a scene, they can fool the camera. But in everyday life, unless you're watching and censoring yourself every minute, or spending all your time in the company of ladies, what you feel is bound to show in your eyes.

Well, you know what they say in Hollywood - the most important thing is being sincere, even if you have to fake it.

George Raft may or may not have gone both ways, but he was very sensitive to what they said about him, and it was one factor why he decided to play all those gangsters in the movies.

I had to keep from laughing when a male relative of mine became concerned about how often I danced.

Bugsy Siegel. The mobster with the beautiful blue eyes.

Due to a big bust in Cuba, my father's business suffered badly, so I was free to choose my own career. I became a professional dancer, and I went on the road and started making real money.

I should remember more, and I have a pretty good memory.

I should only have been as lucky as Valentino, in the movies - I didn't have to be a gigolo. In real life.

Valentino was apparently gay or bisexual. And his two lesbian wives. But without any question, he had sex with men. From choice. So he was one or the other.

I can't date women my own age any more - I hate going to cemeteries.

The Thin Man was a good break, because it was highly popular. I played a gigolo in it.

We had plenty of clothes and no money.

If my father's business hadn't gone broke, I'd be exporting nuts, bolts and sugar machinery right now. What an awful thought!

I'm 86 and my doctor used to tell me to slow down - at least he did until he dropped dead.

They say the camera never lies. It lies every day.

George Murphy tagged that name "Butch" on me years ago. We were all at a party and he went around tagging names on people that didn't fit them.

I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe.

I know Raft did have some genuine affairs with actresses.

We Latins make splendid lovers and splendid older men.

It's a new town. The old elegance is gone. It used to be one big family, this industry.

That is perceptive of you, because in this country men dancers have always been viewed with suspicion. If you were an actor, a star, and a dancer, you had to be, or have a name like someone "mainstream."

Google is a consumer brand and people need to be comfortable. If we were just an advertising brand we wouldn't have the same concerns. We've always tried to promote transparency and choice among our users.

A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul.

We have a duty to ensure that patients don't have to worry whether they'll be dropped from their coverage if they get sick. Small business owners shouldn't have to break the bank to provide coverage to their employees. And families should not be forced into bankruptcy because of a medical crisis.

I like putting money back into what made my life, and tennis has been great to me.

Serving as President of the United States is a privilege that is afforded to few in our country.

The men resent a woman getting any honour in what they consider is essentially their field. Men painters mostly despise women painters. So I have decided to stop squirming, to throw any honour in with Canada and women.

Often my characters don't know what the issues of the play are. They think they're doing one thing, but something else is actually orchestrating their lives.

Purcell is a composer who had a formative influence on British music - even The Who now cite him as an influence. There's an intense, dirty harmony, but there's a Louis XIV kind of elan and style, too. He had the melancholy DNA of our national folk heritage.

The best stomachs are not those which reject all foods.

There are endless ways to enhance beauty. You never know when you will find your perfect lipstick - unless you keep experimenting.
