All I have going is my looks. When my beauty goes, I'm through.
Ava Gardner
If I had my life to live over again, I'd live it the same way. Maybe a few changes here or there, but nothing special. The truth is, honey, I've enjoyed my life. I've had a hell of a good time.
Ava Gardner
When I'm old and gray, I want to have a house by the sea. And paint. With a lot of wonderful chums, good music, and booze around. And a damn good kitchen to cook in.
Ava Gardner

Ava Gardner

Ava Gardner
I couldn't imagine a better place [Australia] for making a film on the end of the world.
Ava Gardner
I wish to live to 150 years old, but the day I die, I wish it to be with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other.
Ava Gardner
I hate cheating. I won’t put up with it. I don’t do it myself.
Ava Gardner
I thought I was making fifty dollars a week [at MGM], but it turned out to be $35 because twelve weeks of the year you were on layoff. It was white slavery, and it lasted for seventeen years.
Ava Gardner
What I'd really like to say about stardom is that it gave me everything I never wanted.
Ava Gardner
Sex isn't all that important, but it is when you love someone very much.
Ava Gardner
Love is nothing but a pain in the ass
Ava Gardner
After my screen test, the director clapped his hands gleefully and yelled: “She can't talk! She can't act! She's sensational!”
Ava Gardner
