    • Carmen Miranda: I say 20 words in English. I say money, money, money, and I say hot dog! I say yes, no and I say money, money, money and I say turkey sandwich and I say grape juice.
    • Carmen Miranda: I have a huge disdain for those artists who say that they don't need a prize to have their talent recognized. If I were a real actress (I'm only an entertainer) I'd do my best to win an Oscar knowing that the Academy is a serious institution of people who really understand about it.
    • Carmen Miranda: More affectionate than a kiss is a well done hug in someone that you love. Have you ever notice how I can give delicious hugs?
