My belief also is that Marilyn Monroe passed away long before she should have left us.
Debbie Reynolds

I've always put my own money into my own shows because today, if you want to stay in the business, you have to produce your own product because there is not enough production and enough people that create today so if you wanna work you produce it or you stay home.

Anything worthwhile is hard, and dancing is very hard, and if you've ever studied dancing of any kind you'd know that to be in precision, three people dancing together.

[Marilyn Monroe] was a bit temperamental, a little diva-like, but she didn't deserve what she got.

When I was doing theater in the 1950's, 60's and 70's we weren't allowed to film any of the shows that I did, it was against union rules. It was a stupid law, because so much is lost. We now have no record of these famous stage plays, so it turned out to be very narrow-minded thinking.

Donald O'Connor was in the film [ 'Singin' in the Rain' ] as well, and he was only 27 years old. So we were closer in age, and had more fun together on the set. Gene was more my teacher and mentor.

A lot of people don't feel like doing very much. Or one project is really all they can do at one time. I can have five or six things going at the same time. It doesn't bother me or tire me, but sometimes it does rattle me.

Years ago nudity was not done in the United States. But during that late 1950s era in Vegas it began at the Tropicana, and spread to the other venues. Now the showgirls are going away again and Cirque du Soleil, the magic acts and the animal acts reign in Las Vegas. But I don't think you'll completely lose the boobie shows.

I think you should control yourself a little bit, so you can walk, and when you die, you can walk to your own funeral.

[Bob Fosse] was a temperamental fellow - it was his way or the highway.
Debbie Reynolds

I don't give parties, and I'm not in that social scene. I couldn't care less.

You probably only know what you've read [about Marilyn Monroe].You didn't know her. The people who talk about her didn't know her either.

If I ever stop working, I might have a problem. But I never seem to be able to stop working.
Debbie Reynolds

I've always had life threats, and they've always been for real.

I never thought about doing men. Never.

Marilyn Monroe was taken advantage of by most of the men that knew her, including Frank Sinatra and Joe DiMaggio, whom I also knew very well.

Do I run around deploring the world? No. I'm just not into it. I was brought up that way.
