फिल्म में एक से बढ़कर एक बेहतरीन संगीत की भरमार होने के कारण, इस पर काम करना किसी शानदार कॉन्सर्ट में शामिल होने जितना ही मजेदार और रोमांचक था।
Because of the wealth of fine music spread through the film, working on it held all the fun and excitement of attending a great concert

जीवन में पहली बार मुझे खुद के महत्वपूर्ण होने का अहसास हुआ है। मेरा मन करता है कि मेरे पाँच बच्चे हों।
For the first time in my life I feel important. I'd like to have five babies

मैं हमेशा से एक फ़िल्म स्टार बनना चाहती थी। मुझे लगता था कि इसका मतलब है मशहूर होना और बिस्तर पर नाश्ता मिलना। मुझे यह नहीं पता था कि इसके लिए सुबह 4:00 बजे ही उठना पड़ता है।
I always wanted to be a movie star. I thought it meant being famous and having breakfast in bed. I didn't know you had to be up at 4:00 a.m.

इससे तो अच्छा है कि मैं घर पर रहकर बच्चे पालूँ।
I'd just as soon stay home and raise babies

मुझे झगड़ना पसंद नहीं है।

मैं बोलते समय हकलाती (तुतलाती) हूँ। जब मैं मुस्कुराती हूँ तो मेरी आँखें बंद हो जाती हैं। मेरी आवाज़ अजीब है। मैं जूडी गारलैंड की तरह नहीं गाती। मैं सिड चारीज़ की तरह डांस नहीं करती। लेकिन आम महिलाएँ मुझसे खुद को जोड़ कर देखती हैं। और जहाँ पुरुष सिड चारीज़ को चाह सकते हैं, वहीं वे मुझे अपने घर ले जाकर अपनी माँ से मिलवाना चाहेंगे।
I lisp. My eyes disappear when I smile. My voice is funny. I don't sing like Judy Garland. I don't dance like Cyd Charisse. But women identify with me. And while men desire Cyd Charisse, they'd take me home to meet Mom.

मैं कोई करियर-ओरिएंटेड (महत्वाकांक्षी) महिला नहीं हूँ।
I'm not a career woman.

असli zindagi mein main ek garib darzan hoon aur khana banane mein behad kharab, sach kahun toh ek aadarsh patni ke alawa kuch bhi hoon.
In real life I'm a poor dressmaker and a terrible cook, anything in fact but the perfect wife.

[Ronald Reagan ke baare mein:] Jane Wyman ko apne pati ke rajneeti ke junoon se shayad mujhse bhi zyada pareshani thi. Maine unhein hasane ki koshish ki. 'Woh isse bahar aa jayenge,' maine unse kaha. Lekin unke liye yeh koi mazak nahi tha.
[On Ronald Reagan:] Jane Wyman seemed more upset with her husband's obsession with politics than I. I tried to make her laugh. 'He'll outgrow it,' I told her. To her it wasn't funny.

Toh, is kirdar ke liye taiyari karte waqt, mujhe sangeet ke sabak lene pade, aisi patniyon se baat karni padi jinke pati videsh mein the, aur ek dost ki aadaton aur uske chal-dalan ka bariki se adhyayan karna pada jo maa banne wali thi.
So, to prepare for the role, I had to take music lessons, talk to wives who had husbands overseas, and carefully study the reactions and mannerisms of a friend who was expecting.

Mere paas mata-pita ke roop mein aisi koi satta nahi thi, bas studio hi mera sab kuch tha. Jab main ek star thi, toh hamesha koi na koi mere sath rehta tha, meri raksha karne ke liye. Mujhe cigarette, sharab, coffee ya yahan tak ki ek glass pani ke sath bhi tasveer khinchane ki ijazat nahi thi, kyunki kisi ko lag sakta tha ki woh sharab hai. Jab maine studio chhoda toh meri shadi ho chuki thi aur mere do bachche the, lekin mujhe aisa dukh ho raha tha jaise koi bachcha pehli baar apna ghar chhod kar ja raha ho.
The only parental authority I had was the studio. When I was a star, there was always somebody with me, to guard me. I was not allowed to be photographed with a cigarette, a drink, a cup of coffee or even a glass of water because someone might think it was liquor. When I left the studio I was already married and had two children, but I felt as sad as a child leaving home for the first time.
