Quote

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.

I never thought about doing men. Never.
Debbie Reynolds

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.

I also have a pair of ruby red slippers from the 'Wizard of Oz' and Dorothy's gingham dress...and on and on. I saved as much as I could and still do, because people are still interested in it.

We've lost a lot of our great stars. I can't hang out with those who aren't here. The phone service to heaven is so bad, you know. But I get to visit with their memories.

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 wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.

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

As you train and as you develop your talents, you do get better, hopefully, or you get out of the business.

I'm not a cook and I always stick everything in the freezer and then I leave things out, saying 'if it's good today it will be good tomorrow.'

For 'Singin' in the Rain,' I bought most of the costumes - the 'Fit as a Fiddle' costumes and the 'Make Them Laugh' Donald O'Connor outfits and the 'Good Morning, Good Morning' clothes we danced in.

I'm not a big shoot-em-up, bang-bang. I like romantic films.

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

It's fun to get back to acting.
Debbie Reynolds

If I ever stop working, I might have a problem. But I never seem to be able to stop working.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
I'm very strict with myself. I'm an Aries and sort of a challenge to myself.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
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.

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.

I have the largest private collection in the world [of Hollywood memorabilia].

Marilyn Monroe was a very sweet girl, she was a very innocent girl.
