Ginger Rogers's Quotes

My mother [Lela E. Rogers] told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.
When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, they look in the same direction.
[1983] They're not going to get my money to see the junk that's made today.
The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.
[early 1930s] I don't know which I like best. I love the applause on the stage. But pictures are so fascinating - you reach many millions through them. And you make more money, too.

The well-known quote often attributed to her - "My first picture was [Kitty Foyle (1940)]. It was my mother [Lela E. Rogers] who made all those films with Fred Astaire" - was actually fabricated for a 1966 article in "Films In Review".
Always the outdoor sporty type, she was a near-champion tennis player, a topline shot and loved going fishing.
