I Yearned For A Long, Happy Marriage

While I Was Making My Solo Films, Rko Was Busily Trying To Get Me And Fred Astaire Back Together. The Studio Wanted To Capitalize On The Success Of 'flying Down To Rio' And Realized That The Pairing Of Rogers And Astaire Had Moneymaking Potential.

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.

You've Got To Stand For Something Or You'll Fall For Anything.

The Only Way To Enjoy Anything In This Life Is To Earn It First.

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.
