I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.

Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants.

Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

Most of us have compromised with life. Those who fight for what they want will always thrill us.

Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war....

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.

Scarlett, from the ashes of the war-ravaged land at Tara, remembering what she was taught by her father in happier times: 'As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again - no, nor any of my folks! If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill! As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.'

Tired of all her efforts at Tara, Scarlett wishes to escape too: 'I do want to escape too! I'm so very tired of it all!. . . The South is dead, it's dead, the Yankees and the carpetbaggers have got it and there's nothing left for us.'

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.'

When I was at school at Paris, I had special lessons from Mademoiselle Antoine, an actress at the Comedie Francaise, and I was taken to every sort of play. I felt very grand.

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 think Edith Evans is the most marvelous actress in the world and she can look beautiful. People who aren't beautiful can look beautiful. She can look as beautiful as Diana Cooper, who was the most beautiful woman in the world.

You know the passage where Scarlett voices her happiness that her mother is dead, so that she can't see what a bad girl Scarlett has become? Well, that's me.

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

My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.

Every single night I'm nervous. You never know how the audience is going to react.

People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.

I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
