It's fun to get back to acting.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
I tour all year, 42 weeks a year, so it's hard for me to remember every place I play.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
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
Image
Every performer should learn a little bit of everything. Most performers today only play the guitar.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.

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

I've always had my guard. I have my cook and my guard. I want to eat, and I want to live.

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

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.'

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have over five thousand costumes and props and cars, and I have a twenty-five thousand square foot warehouse full of memorabilia.

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

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