Ava Gardner quotes about
honey temper loses
When I lose my temper, honey, you can't find it any place.
respect song needs
Sing me not a song; let me hear your recital of veneration and respect; this I will listen to over and over when I share your need of pleasing.
animal men drunk
I dealt with men who had tempers, and who could get violent-Lord knows how I had to defend myself against Howard Hughes and Frank Sinatra, and from Artie Shaw's verbal abuse. But George [C. Scott] was a different category of animal when he got drunk. He'd break into my hotel room, which he did in Italy, London and at the Beverly Hills Hotel, attack me to where I was frightened for my life, and scream, 'Why won't you marry me?' Well, I would never marry a man who couldn't control his liquor. Me, I'm a happy drunk. I laugh, I dance. I certainly don't break bottles and threaten to kill.
love-is publicity hollywood
Hollywood - that's a place where love is viewed both pragmatically and philosophically in the saying, 'Tis better to have loved and divorced than never to have had any publicity at all.
stardom wanted
What I'd really like to say about stardom is that it gave me everything I never wanted.
inspirational motivational heart
I have only one rule in acting - trust the director and give him heart and soul.
reason
I do everything for a reason. Most of the time the reason is money.
marriage thinking analysis
Maybe, in the final analysis, they saw me as something I wasn't and I tried to turn them into something they could never be. I loved them all but maybe I never understood any of them. I don't think they understood me.
believe simple lust
It’s a pity nobody believes in simple lust anymore.
girl country believe
Although no one believes me, I have always been a country girl and still have a country girl's values
special honey way
If I had my life to live over again, I'd live it the same way. Maybe a few changes here or there, but nothing special. The truth is, honey, I've enjoyed my life. I've had a hell of a good time.
perfect water people
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.
hands scotch glasses
I don't mind growing old. If I have to go before my time, this is how I'll go-- cigarette in one hand, glass of scotch in the other.
pain love-is ass
Love is nothing but a pain in the ass
