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.

I am going to be a great actress.

I've always been mad about cats.

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.

I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.

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

I'm not young. What's wrong with that?

Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.

My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.

I'm not afraid to die.

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.

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

I need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms.

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

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.

Life is too short to work so hard.

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

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.

I always know my lines.

My first husband and I are still good friends and there is no earthly reason why I should not see him. Larry and I are very much in love.

Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.

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

A lucky thing Eva Peron was. She died at 32. I'm already 45.

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.

I adore dancing.

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.

I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.

When I come into the theatre I get a sense of security. I love an audience. I love people, and I act because I like trying to give pleasure to people.

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.

I know I am right for Scarlett. I can convince Mr. Selznick.

I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.

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.

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.

I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.

Ive been a godmother loads of times but being a grandmother is better than anything.

I always looked for a man to rescue me and bring me happiness. I bought into that myth, of course, and looked for my own Prince Charming.

Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.

No one is guaranteed happiness. You can pursue it, but if you happen to find success along the way on that road to happiness, Conservatives believe you should not be demonized or penalized for it.

To describe happiness is to diminish it.

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.

So many people have said that to me, that what they really like about Alex is what she brings out in Marissa, and what this situation brings out in her, a hint of happiness and another side to her character.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.

Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.

Happiness seems made to be shared.
