I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.

I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.

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

I am going to be a great actress.

I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.

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

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

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

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.

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.

I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.

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

I've always been mad about cats.

I will not be ignored.

Things are simple when you're going to die.

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

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

Life is too short to work so hard.
