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 always avoid not working.

I loved Frank [O'Connor], he was wonderful...just don't get on his bad side. I don't think I would have wanted to marry him, but I probably should have since I married idiots anyway.
Debbie Reynolds

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

Travel is hard, but entertaining is joy.

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'm just a movie fan. I used to go to the movies just to watch movies.

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

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

I'll be like Irving Berlin: There's no business like show business.

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.

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.

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

Weight has never been a problem with me because when you dance, it just stays off.

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

The young people today are really so creative and talented - I mean, the ones who are really are and they get together and produce and create. They're an entirely different breed from what I was when I was their age.

I think the press does, too it's just the few crazies and paparazzi that give them a bad name. Real writers write good things. My daughter's a writer, and she's a quality writer.

I never thought about doing men. Never.

That's what a writer does they make things up and that makes for good reading.
