Gene Kelly was a little tough, and he used to yell at me on the set.
I loved to party with the Rat Pack; they were so much fun.
I love having my ghosts, and I love having my memories.
'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.
I was just a beginner, and she and I were not in any manner alike, but we got along very well because I was in awe of going to school with Elizabeth Taylor.
I'm always sad to see a relationship not work, but what happens between two people is not my business.
I always loved to entertain and show off in front of the neighbors. I would sing and dance at their houses.
We slept in the park before we had a house, and eventually we shared a home - my parents, my grandparents and five uncles, my family, all of us - on White Oaks Street by Magnolia Street near the railroad. Those were hard times, but I loved living there.
Gene Kelly was hard on me, but I think he had to be.
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.
Hollywood has been an enormous part of my life, as I know it has been for countless fans all over the world.
It took, like, 30 years for Carrie to be really happy with me. I don't know what the problem ever was. I've had to work at it.
I'm a sucker for a good movie.
People used to call her Debbie Reynolds' daughter. Now they call me Princess Leia's mother!
We didn't have any real proper school. We did not have a place to go to learn to dance and the joy of dancing.
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.
Manic depressive is a disease.
I don't have an agent - I have the William Morris Agency.
I loved Fred Astaire's way of dancing. He led you into the dance.
We were very poor, and I entered a talent contest as a young teenager because if you entered, even if you didn't win, they gave you a free blouse.
Robert Wagner was my greatest crush.
Old age is a wonderful time of life. At least, that's what everyone tells you. But let me tell you: it is not true. What's true is that your hips, knees and ankles gradually give up on you - everything is quite dreadful, really. And it was a terrible thing to have told us because we believed 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.
