“Men fell in love with Gilda, but they wake up with me.”

Rita Hayworth (1918–1987) American actress, dancer and director

As quoted in Rita Hayworth : Portrait of a Love Goddess (1977) by John Kobal

“When I was a little girl (but being raised as a little boy), what I wanted more than anything was to be a dancer. How I longed for it — the lights, the stage, the gorgeous costumes, most of all for the delivering grace of movement in harmony with a choreography greater than myself. Like a little Chinese and two left feet saw to that: I was laughed, bullied, or shamed out of every dance class I attempted.”
