More quotes by Ginger Rogers
If I've learned any one lesson from life, it's this: If you don't stand for something, you will stand for anything.
Ginger Rogers
I believe in dressing for the occasion. There's a time for sweater, sneakers and Levis and a time for the full-dress jazz.
Ginger Rogers
The most important thing in anyone's life is to be giving something. The quality I can give is fun, joy and happiness. This is my gift.
Ginger Rogers
Over the years, myths were built up about my relationship with Fred Astaire. The general public thought he was a Svengali, who snapped his fingers for his little Trilby to obey in their eyes, my career was his creation.
Ginger Rogers
One thing I turn my back on totally is the unsavory atmosphere at most discos.
Ginger Rogers
My love for ice cream emerged at an early age - and has never left!
Ginger Rogers
Like most actors, I've always been grateful for Chinese restaurants they were often the only places that stayed open late enough for performers to get hot food after the show.
Ginger Rogers
At the age of ten, I thought if a boy kissed you on the lips, you would have a baby, and I surely wasn't the only youngster who believed that!
Ginger Rogers
I try to feed my hunger rather than my appetite.
Ginger Rogers
I had been making films for almost ten years, and the head men at RKO thought of me only in terms of musicals. I found no fault with that, except I just couldn't stand being typed or pigeonholed as only a singing and dancing girl. I wanted to extend my range.
Ginger Rogers
I cannot abide stupidity, in myself or in others.
Ginger Rogers
My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.
Ginger Rogers
There are no small parts. Only small actors.
Ginger Rogers
What's all this talk about me being teamed with Ginger Rogers? I will not have it Leland--I did not go into pictures to be teamed with her or anyone else, and if that is the program in mind for me I will not stand for it. I don't mind making another picture with her but as for this teams idea, it's out.
Ginger Rogers
I do everything the man does, only backwards and in high heels!
Ginger Rogers
Sure, jets are fast and economical, but, oh my, what fun we've lost and what leisure we've sacrificed in the race to efficiency. Somehow, stepping onto a plane and zooming across the United States in a matter of hours doesn't hold a candle to the dear, old-fashioned train ride.
Ginger Rogers
I made my last motion picture in March 1965 for Magna Pictures. 'Harlow,' based on the life of actress Jean Harlow... I didn't know at the time that 'Harlow' would be my last motion picture.
Ginger Rogers
When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, they look in the same direction.
Ginger Rogers
I believe in living each day as it comes, to the best of my ability. When it's done, I put it away, remembering that there will be a tomorrow to take it's place. If I have any philosophy, that's it. To me it's not a fatalistic attitude.
Ginger Rogers
I enjoy sports, and love being involved in any outdoor sport from volleyball to softball. I'm not being immodest when I say I'm a natural athlete.
