Beauty Is A Valuable Asset, But It

While I Was Making My Solo Films, Rko Was Busily Trying To Get Me And Fred Astaire Back Together. The Studio Wanted To Capitalize On The Success Of 'flying Down To Rio' And Realized That The Pairing Of Rogers And Astaire Had Moneymaking Potential.

Perhaps I Am Old-fashioned, But Black And White Films Still Hold An Affectionate Place In My Heart; They Have An Incomparable Mystique And Mood.

I Won't Go To Movies With Permissiveness, Four-letter Words, Or Violence. Show Me 'e.t.' And 'chariots Of Fire' Instead. That's Entertainment, Not Exploitation Of The Human Body.

What's All This Talk About Me Being Teamed With Ginger Rogers? I Will Not Have It Leland--i Did Not Go Into Pictures To Be Teamed With Her Or Anyone Else, And If That Is The Program In Mind For Me I Will Not Stand For It. I Don't Mind Making Another Picture With Her But As For This Teams Idea, It's Out.

During My Seven-year Contract With Rko, There Were Seven Different Studio Presidents, From David O. Selznick To Charles W. Koerner. You Literally Had To Check The Name On The Door So As Not To Call The New Boss By The Former Boss's Name.
