Hollywood is like an empty wastebasket.

When you're happy, you don't count the years.
Ginger Rogers
Image
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.

Image
I do everything the man does, only backwards and in high heels!
Ginger Rogers
Image
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.

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.

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
Image
When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, they look in the same direction.
Ginger Rogers
Image
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
Image
People are still people no matter how you cut it.
Ginger Rogers
Image
You bring out a lot of your own thoughts and attitudes when acting. I think a great deal of it has to do with the inner you.
Ginger Rogers
Image
Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but black and white films still hold an affectionate place in my heart they have an incomparable mystique and mood.
Ginger Rogers
Image
The kids today, they think they can dance with their faces.

Image
I traveled with my mother, Lela, and there was never enough money. I always had to roll down my silk stockings and carry a doll when we bought train tickets so I could go half-fare. If we had $3, we always figured how to tip for the trunks and still eat.

The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.

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.
