More quotes by Debbie Reynolds

Image
[Las Vegas in the early 1960] was thrilling, exciting... I would describe it as very Parisian.
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
I never thought about doing men. Never.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
I just keep traveling and doing live shows.
Debbie Reynolds

Singin' in the Rain (1952) and childbirth were the two hardest things I ever had to do in my life.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
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.

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

Image
I always avoid not working.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
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.

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

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

That's what a writer does they make things up and that makes for good reading.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
You probably only know what you've read [about Marilyn Monroe].You didn't know her. The people who talk about her didn't know her either.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
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.

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

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.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
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.

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