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 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.
