"These girls I've played are naive and pure. They are looking for someone to really love. But they aren't very bright, and they haven't been brought up in a family situation that enables them to evaluate. As for the prostitutes, well they're 'loved' every 20 minutes, or what substitutes for love in about 90% of American homes-- I'm pretty cynical about that."

(Gwyneth Evelyn “Gwen” Verdon, attrice, cantante e ballerina; Culver City, 12 gennaio 1925 – Woodstock, 18 ottobre 2000)
