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
Image
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.

I do everything the man does, only backwards and in high heels!

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
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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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