You all know who she is. There's very little she isn't.

I had the sets that meant so much to this character built - right in my home, especially the kitchen, which was important both for her character and for your introduction to her when Albert comes to visit.

I stopped making movies because I don't like taking my clothes off. Maybe it's realism, but in my opinion, it's utter filth.

I miss the movies. Still, I understood that my kind of movie has had its day. I thought it was over for me.

I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.

Well, one of the things I did was recreate her home in my home.

I wanted to get that sense of peace and even boredom that comes with long familiarity.

I gave it all that I had, and it's gratifying that others seem to be receiving it so well.

You all know who she is. There's very little she isn't.

'Singin' in the Rain' and childbirth are two of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life.

'The Unsinkable Molly Brown' was my favorite for me to be in because it was all dancing. There were other musicals that I made with Donald O'Connor and Gene Kelly that were wonderful pictures, and we had a lot of fun making them.

All of my husbands have robbed me blind.

All the training at MGM came to be a great help for me on 'Molly Brown.'

As a parent, you must give your opinion. And if that causes a breach, then it causes a breach.

Bette Davis was a close friend. She loved to have a good time.

Carrie is my child, and I love her with every ounce of strength I possess.

Drama's unhappy, and playing someone unhappy would make me unhappy.

Every performer should learn a little bit of everything.

Everyone I dated was gay.

Everything about the studio was enormous. You walked through the gates of iron, and it was palatial looking. The first day, I was introduced to Clark Gable. He said, 'Hello, kid. Welcome to MGM. I'm just leaving.'

Fred Astaire was my dream dancer.

Fred Astaire was retired when he worked in 'The Pleasure of His Company.' They were lucky to get him to play the father part.

Gene Kelly was a little tough, and he used to yell at me on the set.

Gene Kelly was hard on me, but I think he had to be.

Gene Kelly was one of the greatest dancers of all time and a taskmaster. He sought from you the absolute best - and he got it.

He caressed my backside. I had heard that he was famous for his 'admiration' of the ladies, but I didn't expect him to be handling my booty. As handsome as Prince Philip is, I wasn't sure if he was making a pass or just exercising some royal rights to squeeze the foreigners.

Hollywood has been an enormous part of my life, as I know it has been for countless fans all over the world.

I always feel, as a mother does, that I protect her. Who will do that when I'm gone?

I always loved to entertain and show off in front of the neighbors. I would sing and dance at their houses.

I believed that the husband takes care of the family, and the wife takes care of him, and they are true to each other. I know that sounds a romantic illusion, but it can be true.

I can pick good food, but I can't pick a good man.

I don't have an agent - I have the William Morris Agency.

I don't know fancy big words, because I didn't have a rich mother who sent her to fancy schools.

I don't think you can ever be bitter about anything, because if you don't allow your heart to stay open, then all you have is a filled heart of hate and bitterness, and you're never able to love or like anybody.

I got to sing a wonderful song called 'I Ain't Down Yet.' Well, I ain't.

I had a normal life; we didn't meet movie stars. We lived in Texas where you had rollerskates, and if you got a bicycle, that was a very big gift.

I have very poor taste in men, and I married all the wrong men.

I just think my life's been really blessed, because being in show business, I've met wonderful people, and I've traveled all over the world.

I knew Mrs. Liberace. Lee and I were great friends. I know the whole inside story.

I like being a Girl Scout.

I love having my ghosts, and I love having my memories.

I loved Fred Astaire's way of dancing. He led you into the dance.

I loved music and dance, and that was exciting to me.

I loved to party with the Rat Pack; they were so much fun.

I never thought I would live this long.

I should see a board of directors who should vote on who I should date.

I spent some special years in my hometown of El Paso.

I think it's one thing to be able to dance, and it's another thing to learn all the wonderful moments of dance because in my day... it was the moving of dance.

I tour all year, 42 weeks a year, so it's hard for me to remember every place I play.
