Quotes

I have only one rule in acting -- trust the director and give him heart and soul.

Everybody kisses everybody else in this crummy business all the time. It's the kissiest business in the world.

I really had very little to contribute, so I played a lot of hatcheck girls, and did mob scenes, extra scenes, dancing scenes, just to have the experience of being on a set. I spent years at that. If the studio wanted a photograph to advertise a movie they'd say, 'Who is it that has a good pair of legs and a good pair of breasts and is pretty and not working?' And it was always Ava because she was never working.

When I lose my temper, honey, you can`t find it any place.

The truth is that the only time I'm happy is when I'm doing absolutely nothing. I don't understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feel like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.

I either write the books or sell the jewels , and I'm kinda sentimental about the jewels.

I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely.

I want to remember it all, the good times and the bad times, the late nights, the boozing, the dancing into dawns, and all the great and not-so-great people I met and loved in those years…
