I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.

It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.

Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk's spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn't going to be any war. . . . If either of you boys says 'war' just once again, I'll go in the house and slam the door.

My husband, who's the greatest actor in the world, can do anything. Look at what he did in The Critic and Oedipus. In every role he gets-he did this in Richard the Third-there's nothing he can't do, nothing. Just nothing.

English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously.

I'm not a film star I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

I will not be ignored.

Classical plays require more imagination and more general training to be able to do. That's why I like playing Shakespeare better than anything else.

Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.

Life is too short to work so hard.

On the road, they join the bedraggled remnants of a column of exhausted Confederate soldiers evacuating burning Atlanta. Rhett makes her take note of the scene: Take a good look, my dear. It's a historic moment. You can tell your grandchildren how you watched the Old South disappear one night.

Scarlett tells Mammy: I'm too young to be a widow. She weeps to her mother: My life is over. Nothing will ever happen to me anymore. Her mother comforts her: It's only natural to want to look young and be young when you are young.

My birth sign is Scorpio and they eat themselves up and burn themselves out. I swing between happiness and misery. I am part prude and part nonconformist. I say what I think and I don't pretend and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my actions.
