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.

More quotes by Ginger Rogers
I don't know which I like best. I love the applause on the stage. But pictures are so fascinating - you reach many millions through them. And you make more money too.
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 did everything he did but backwards & in high heels.
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
The kids today, they think they can dance with their faces.
Ginger Rogers
Hollywood is like an empty wastebasket.
Ginger Rogers
I do everything the man does, only backwards and in high heels!
Ginger Rogers
Beauty is a valuable asset, but it is not the whole cheese.
Ginger Rogers
The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.
Ginger Rogers
I don't disagree with seeing a Rubens of a nude body, but I don't believe in a nude body in action. With Rubens, thank goodness, they aren't in action.
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
Even married people have differences of opinion, I'm told.
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
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 won't go to movies with permissiveness, four-letter words, or violence. Show me 'E.T.' and 'Chariots of Fire' instead. That's entertainment, not exploitation of the human body.
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
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
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
During my seven-year contract with RKO, there were seven different studio presidents, from David O. Selznick to Charles W. Koerner. You literally had to check the name on the door so as not to call the new boss by the former boss's name.
Ginger Rogers
My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.
