Zitat des Tages von Ginger Rogers:
Sure, jets are fast and economical, but, oh my, what fun we've lost and what leisure we've sacrificed in the race to efficiency. Somehow, stepping onto a plane and zooming across the United States in a matter of hours doesn't hold a candle to the dear, old-fashioned train ride.
Over the years, myths were built up about my relationship with Fred Astaire. The general public thought he was a Svengali, who snapped his fingers for his little Trilby to obey; in their eyes, my career was his creation.
I don't disagree with seeing a Rubens of a nude body, but I don't believe in a nude body in action. With Rubens, thank goodness, they aren't in action.
Part of the joy of dancing is conversation. Trouble is, some men can't talk and dance at the same time.
My love for ice cream emerged at an early age - and has never left!
Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but black and white films still hold an affectionate place in my heart; they have an incomparable mystique and mood.
My faith in humanity leads me to believe that people are looking for something more elevating than the sordid details of the intimate aspects of one's personal life.
The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.
Only I know my life.
My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.
I traveled with my mother, Lela, and there was never enough money. I always had to roll down my silk stockings and carry a doll when we bought train tickets so I could go half-fare. If we had $3, we always figured how to tip for the trunks and still eat.
People are still people no matter how you cut it.
Gossip is hardly uplifting.
Even married people have differences of opinion, I'm told.
One thing I turn my back on totally is the unsavory atmosphere at most discos.
Looking back at my life's voyage, I can only say that it has been a golden trip.
The kids today, they think they can dance with their faces.
I try to feed my hunger rather than my appetite.
I made my last motion picture in March 1965 for Magna Pictures. 'Harlow,' based on the life of actress Jean Harlow... I didn't know at the time that 'Harlow' would be my last motion picture.
