Quotes

When you have to face up to the fact that marriage to the man you love is really over, that's very tough, sheer agony. In that kind of harrowing situation, I always go away and cut myself off from the world. Also, I sober up immediately when there is genuine bad news in my life; I never face it with alcohol in my brain. I just rented a house in Palm Springs and sat there and just suffered for a couple of weeks. I suffered there until I was strong enough to face it. Ava Gardner
Our phone bills were astronomical, and when I found the letters Frank wrote me the other day, the total could fill a suitcase. Every single day during our relationship, no matter where in the world I was, I'd get a telegram from Frank saying he loved me and missed me. He was a man who was deseperate for companionship and love. Can you wonder that he always had mine! Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner quote: "I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always..."
I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely. Ava Gardner
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. Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner quote: "Sex isn't all that important, but it is when you love someone..."
Sex isn't all that important, but it is when you love someone very much. Ava Gardner
I 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 Gardner
Don't think for a minute that bad publicity and endless criticism don't leave their claw marks on everyone concerned. Your friends try to cheer you up by saying lightly, "I suppose you get used to it, and ignore it." You try. You try damned hard. But you never get used to it. It always wounds and hurts. Ava Gardner
And the news got worse. It appeared that there was this whole other person Jesus Christ whose birthday a lot of people tended to confuse with mine. I was personally outraged. It was a long time before I forgave the Lord for that. Ava Gardner
I caught his drift, but I wasn't going to argue for a single second. Just get me to the Hampshire House, that's all I cared about. Besides, how could I say, "No, I'm not a prositute. I'm Mrs. Frank Sinatra out for an early morning walk in the rain"? Ava Gardner
When I’m old and gray, I want to have a house by the sea. And paint. With a lot of wonderful chums, good music, and booze around. And a damn good kitchen to cook in. Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner quote: "I have only one rule in acting - trust the director and give..."
I have only one rule in acting - trust the director and give him heart and soul. Ava Gardner
I don't understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feels like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect. Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner quote: "God knows I've got so many frailties myself, I ought to be..."
God knows I've got so many frailties myself, I ought to be able to understand and forgive them in others. But I don't. Ava Gardner
I'm here to tell you, there ain't much forgiveness in that old-time religion. That particular savior was a mean son of a bitch. If you sinned, honey, he was going to get you, no doubt about it. Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner quote: "Deep down, I'm pretty superficial."
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial. Ava Gardner
