I was raised to think that if you behaved badly with men, you went to hell. I realise now it is puritanical and not very adult. – Debbie Reynolds
‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown’ was my favorite for me to be in because it was all dancing. There were other musicals that I made with Donald O’Connor and Gene Kelly that were wonderful pictures, and we had a lot of fun making them. – Debbie Reynolds
In life, I’m like Molly Brown. I’ve had tough times along the way and gone through experiences that many women have gone through. But I ain’t down yet. – Debbie Reynolds
I stopped making movies because I don’t like taking my clothes off. Maybe it’s realism, but in my opinion, it’s utter filth. – Debbie Reynolds
I don’t know fancy big words, because I didn’t have a rich mother who sent her to fancy schools. – Debbie Reynolds
I wanted to get that sense of peace and even boredom that comes with long familiarity. – Debbie Reynolds
I’ve always been a good mother, but I’ve always been in show business, and I’ve been on stage, and I don’t bake cookies and I don’t stay home. – Debbie Reynolds
He caressed my backside. I had heard that he was famous for his ‘admiration’ of the ladies, but I didn’t expect him to be handling my booty. As handsome as Prince Philip is, I wasn’t sure if he was making a pass or just exercising some royal rights to squeeze the foreigners. – Debbie Reynolds
I believed that the husband takes care of the family, and the wife takes care of him, and they are true to each other. I know that sounds a romantic illusion, but it can be true. – Debbie Reynolds
We didn’t have any real proper school. We did not have a place to go to learn to dance and the joy of dancing. – Debbie Reynolds
You don’t get there the easy way. If you feel sorry for yourself, and you let yourself go down, you will drown. – Debbie Reynolds
I think it’s one thing to be able to dance, and it’s another thing to learn all the wonderful moments of dance because in my day… it was the moving of dance. – Debbie Reynolds
I had a normal life; we didn’t meet movie stars. We lived in Texas where you had rollerskates, and if you got a bicycle, that was a very big gift. – Debbie Reynolds
