More quotes by Debbie Reynolds
Every performer should learn a little bit of everything. Most performers today only play the guitar.
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
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.
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
As you train and as you develop your talents, you do get better, hopefully, or you get out of the business.

Debbie Reynolds
I loved going to films, but as far as a movie buff, when I came into the movies at 16, life changed a little bit for me, from an onlooker to a person that lived within the industry. So now I would call myself a different sort of fan.
Debbie Reynolds

Debbie Reynolds
I'm not a big shoot-em-up, bang-bang. I like romantic films.
Debbie Reynolds
[Marilyn Monroe] was a bit temperamental, a little diva-like, but she didn't deserve what she got.
Debbie Reynolds
I don't think it's the fans, I think it's the fact that they get paid a lot of money for a picture of you doing something wrong. They don't seem to be interested in anything good any more.I think people appreciate what you do.
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
It is very rewarding to walk out on stage, feeling the love and reception.
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've always had life threats, and they've always been for real.
Debbie Reynolds
[Las Vegas in the early 1960] was thrilling, exciting... I would describe it as very Parisian.

I don't think anything I could ever do could make Gene Kelly look better than he was.
Debbie Reynolds
