Ann-Margret

“Alan Arkin is a good cook.”

“The man that I married is the man I knew I was going to marry on the third date.”

“I'm always a different person when I get up and perform because then I don't have to be nervous. I don't have to be myself.”

“My father was proud that people thought I was a good actress. I'm the only child. And daddy's girl.”

“On my first movie, there were three women: the body-makeup girl, the hairdresser, and the secretary of the producer.”

“I've always been extremely puritanical.”

“When you've got that performing bug, there's no way that you can tear it out. It's there. When you go out on stage, and that first wave of applause comes, you just go, 'Wow.'”

“I've been so fortunate. People are so kind. I really am grateful for that.”

“I always think that age is a natural progression, and I'm ready for it. Whatever. I'm going to be the best 85-year-old that I can be if I'm still around.”

“Performing is my passion.”
