More quotes by 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
I was lazy. I would have been a hell of a lot better actress had I taken it more seriously. I never had the proper respect for acting. Quite often, I learned my lines on the way to the studio.

Ava Gardner
I hate cheating. I won’t put up with it. I don’t do it myself.
Ava Gardner
I was never an actress -- none of us kids at Metro were. We were just good to look at.
Ava Gardner
I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely.
Ava Gardner
All I have going is my looks. When my beauty goes, I'm through.
Ava Gardner
Oh, what the hell did I know? I went to the set the first day in full makeup and the director told me to take it off. So I did the film without makeup. I had nothing to do with anything I did. I never understood why I was so famous.
Ava Gardner
When I lose my temper, honey, you can't find it any place.
Ava Gardner
