Jeanette MacDonald Quotations

You realize, monsieur, that I am not in love with you, that I have no intention of falling in love with you, and if I should through some unpredictable curse happen to fall in love with you, I'd run to the nearest cliff and jump off!

I must have had rocks in my head.

I've been told I have an Irish temper, I know I have Scottish thrift, and, like the English, I love a good show.

I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it.

I can't believe how blessed I am! I'm married to the most wonderful man, Gene Raymond, whom I'm deeply in love with, and, my career is right where I want it to be. I can live like this forever!

I'm sure that people must say about me, on the screen, 'Good gracious, is Jeanette MacDonald going to take off her clothes - again?

The one thing I missed was never having children. It just wasn't in the cards, I guess.
