More quotes by 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
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 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.
Ginger Rogers
When you're happy, you don't count the years.
Ginger Rogers
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
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 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
There are no small parts. Only small actors.
Ginger Rogers
Even married people have differences of opinion, I'm told.
Ginger Rogers
The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.
Ginger Rogers
The kids today, they think they can dance with their faces.
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
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
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
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
Hollywood is like an empty wastebasket.
Ginger Rogers
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.
Ginger Rogers
I do everything the man does, only backwards and in high heels!
Ginger Rogers
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.
