Gene Kelly was a great dancer and I was lucky to be in 'Singin' in the Rain.' He was my teacher when I was 17 years old, when he was 37 years old. He taught me everything.

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

Singin' in the Rain (1952) and childbirth were the two hardest things I ever had to do in my life.

The only way you learn is by failure.

I think you should control yourself a little bit, so you can walk, and when you die, you can walk to your own funeral.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?

A girl ask me for a ring and i put one around her whole eye.

How much can a crown be worth, when a crow can dine upon a king?

This morning I shot six holes in my freezer. I think I've got cabin fever.

More like a chocolate molten lava cake. A dessert so sinful, so luscious, so filled with inner heat it made a girl want to lick each and every crumb right off the plate. That was Jack Pallas.
