I loved Fred Astaire's way of dancing. He led you into the dance.
I'm an Aries and sort of a challenge to myself.
Gene Kelly was a little tough, and he used to yell at me on the set.
You don't have to be angry and become an ugly person.
It's not natural to outlive your child. This has always been my greatest fear.
I wanted to have no ribs. I wore what was called a waist-nipper in those days. My mother made it. It's a piece of rubber band I wore around to hold my rib cage in. I don't know why I always loved that. I guess I was a glutton for punishment. I think I was born one of those people who loved swords and fought in armor.
If your husband's going to leave you for anyone, it might as well be Elizabeth Taylor.
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.
Carrie is my child, and I love her with every ounce of strength I possess.
I got to sing a wonderful song called 'I Ain't Down Yet.' Well, I ain't.
I wanted to get that sense of peace and even boredom that comes with long familiarity.
I'm going to stay on stage until I drop dead. Then I'm going to have myself stuffed, like Trigger, and I'm going to put me in a museum.
I don't have an agent - I have the William Morris Agency.
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 spent some special years in my hometown of El Paso.
That's what I love about dance. It makes you happy, fully happy.
I have very poor taste in men, and I married all the wrong men.
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.
Liberace - or Lee, as us friends called him - was great. He was gay, you know.
I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.
