If you're a dancer, study singing. You have to do everything and do it well. You have to study acting. You have to study all of it. You have to find workshops, get out on the stage...and fail.

More quotes by Debbie Reynolds
If I ever stop working, I might have a problem. But I never seem to be able to stop working.
Debbie Reynolds
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.
Debbie Reynolds
I've always had life threats, and they've always been for real.
Debbie Reynolds
My favorite [costume in collection] is the white dress Marilyn Monroe wore in the subway breeze scene in 'The Seven Year Itch.'
Debbie Reynolds
[Bob Fosse] was a temperamental fellow - it was his way or the highway.
Debbie Reynolds
I stopped making movies because I don't like taking my clothes off. Maybe it's realism, but in my opinion, it's utter filth.
Debbie Reynolds
I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.
Debbie Reynolds
As you train and as you develop your talents, you do get better, hopefully, or you get out of the business.
Debbie Reynolds
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.
Debbie Reynolds
I always avoid not working.
Debbie Reynolds
I just keep traveling and doing live shows.
Debbie Reynolds
Travel is hard, but entertaining is joy.
Debbie Reynolds
I really can't answer that off the top of my head, my favorite movies. Each one individually was wonderfully made, wonderfully directed, wonderfully written, wonderfully acted, and each one was entirely different.I like romantic movies. I sort of go for the older movies.
Debbie Reynolds
I started to earn money because we didn't have money.
Debbie Reynolds
The only way you learn is by failure.
Debbie Reynolds
I loved working with Bette Davis. Bette Davis was great to work with and a wonderful teacher, and very kind to me. We became good friends.
Debbie Reynolds
I don't think anything I could ever do could make Gene Kelly look better than he was.
Debbie Reynolds
I'm very strict with myself. I'm an Aries and sort of a challenge to myself.
Debbie Reynolds
I think you should control yourself a little bit, so you can walk, and when you die, you can walk to your own funeral.
Debbie Reynolds
Weight has never been a problem with me because when you dance, it just stays off.
Debbie Reynolds
