The top 10 most inspiring quotes by 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.
  • 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.
  • Hell, I suppose if you stick around long enough, they have to say something nice about you.
  • I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely.
  • 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.
  • If 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.
  • In one scene, when I was supposed to say, “In a pig’s eye, you are,” what came out was, “In a pig’s ass, you are.” Old habits die awfully hard.
  • So this was where lust was satisfied. If I’d been an old-time miner I’d have asked for my gold nugget back.
  • Then, aided by the booze, like a fool, I tossed off one of those throwaway lines that would have been better thrown away. “Ah, Frank! I thought you were going to be down here, fucking Lana.
  • Some of the things that I regret most in my life happened when I was drinking. I’m just not good with alcohol. And I don’t give a damn what time of the day it is, I just drink too much.
