When I recorded for Columbia, I could usually do anything in one take...I would invariably want to use the first take because that would be the one that was spontaneous and fresh.

More quotes by Doris Day
A person does not leave a good marriage for someone else.
Doris Day
It has been said that the body is like an automobile - it's yours, but it isn't you.
Doris Day
It's quite an experience to have filming done in your house. When they come in, they photograph every piece of furniture and where it is so they can get them back exactly where you had them. You'd never know they'd been here.
Doris Day
I don't know if I want to get married again.
Doris Day
Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.
Doris Day
I always feel a rise in my scalp or in the backs of my wrists when something is special, whether it be a song or a man.
Doris Day
I always felt that making a living wasn't the easiest thing in the world, and I decided I was going straight ahead and try to be as uncomplicated as possible. The important thing in life is just living and loving.
Doris Day
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Doris Day
No matter what happens, if I get pushed down, I’m going to come right back up.
Doris Day
The one radio voice that I listened to above others belonged to Ella Fitzgerald. There was a quality to her voice that fascinated me, and I'd sing along with her, trying to catch the subtle ways she shaded her voice, the casual yet clean way she sang the words.
Doris Day
When I see Liz Taylor with those Harry Winston boulders hanging from her neck I get nauseated. Not figuratively, but nauseated! All I can think of are how many dog shelters those diamonds could buy.
Doris Day
Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it.
Doris Day
I've been through everything. I always said I was like those round-bottomed circus dolls — you know, those dolls you could push down and they'd come back up? I've always been like that. I've always said, No matter what happens, if I get pushed down, I'm going to come right back up.
Doris Day
I liked being married instead of the girl who's looking for a guy.
Doris Day
I've never met an animal I didn't like, and I can't say the same thing about people.
Doris Day
I had a wonderful family including my aunts, uncles and cousins but they've all gone to heaven.
Doris Day
in the press, my sex life was something else again. I was Lady Bountiful of the Sheets. Some of the best fiction of the Sixties was written about my amorous adventures with an assortment of lovers who could have only been chosen by a berserk random sampler.
Doris Day
I like Michael Buble.
Doris Day
I'm not going to go around with a long face - that's a waste of time
Doris Day
The succession of cheerful, period musicals I made, plus Oscar Levant's widely publicized remark about my virginity, contributed to what has been called my image, which is a word that baffles me. There never was any intent on my part either in my acting or in my private life to create any such thing as an image.
