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

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.

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'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.

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."

I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.

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