I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.

I always know my lines.

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 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.

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 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.

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