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 shall play Scarlett O'Hara.

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.

Scarlett: You should die of shame to leave me here alone and helpless. Rhett: You helpless? (laughs) Heaven help the Yankees if they capture you.

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

I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.

I am going to be a great actress.
