Love is nothing but a pain in the ass.
AVA GARDNERLove is nothing but a pain in the ass.
AVA GARDNERI hate cheating. I won’t put up with it. I don’t do it myself.
AVA GARDNERI either write the book or sell the jewels. And I’m kinda sentimental about the jewels.
AVA GARDNERI’ve certainly never taken the care of myself that I should have. On the contrary. I’ve done a lot of late nights without enough sleep and all that. But I’ve had fun. Whatever wrinkles are there, I’ve enjoyed getting them.
AVA GARDNERI must have seen more sunrises than any other actress in the history of Hollywood.
AVA GARDNEROh, what the hell did I know? I went to the set the first day in full makeup and the director told me to take it off. So I did the film without makeup. I had nothing to do with anything I did. I never understood why I was so famous.
AVA GARDNERI think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely.
AVA GARDNERI suffered, I really suffered, with all three of my husbands. And I tried damn hard with all three, starting each marriage certain that it was going to last until the end of my life. Yet none of them lasted more than a year or two.
AVA GARDNERIf 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.
AVA GARDNERSo this was where lust was satisfied. If I’d been an old-time miner I’d have asked for my gold nugget back.
AVA GARDNERFame gives you everything you never wanted.
AVA GARDNERIt’s a pity nobody believes in simple lust anymore.
AVA GARDNERI wish to live to 150 years old, but the day I die, I wish it to be with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other.
AVA GARDNERWhen I lose my temper, honey, you can’t find it any place.
AVA GARDNERI 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.
AVA GARDNERSing 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.
