Mitzi Gaynor

“In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.”
“In legal practice, in the representation of clients, I have always felt deeply engaged, serene, and not all inclined to stand aside. I have always done whatever needed to be done, and have usually gotten my way.”
“I have a lot of friends who are getting married. I try to avoid talking to them about their sex lives now 'cause it's so depressing. One guy told me it had been six months since he had gotten to second base with his wife. Yeah, I don't know which one was more pathetic: that he used the phrase 'second base' or that he hadn't been there in six months?”
“I'm not the best player in the history of tennis. I think I'm amongst the best. That's true. That's enough for me.”
“We (The British) have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy.”
“Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.”
“Every word I say has chains round its ankles; every thought I think is weighted with heavy weights.”
“I think it's an enormous blessing to be the child of an immigrant who fled oppression, because you realize how fragile liberty is and how easily it can be taken away.”
