I am going to be a great actress.

Scarlett, from the ashes of the war-ravaged land at Tara, remembering what she was taught by her father in happier times: "As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again - no, nor any of my folks! If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill! As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again."

You can't act on an empty stomach, because you're breathing's all wrong.

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

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

Who could quarrel with Clark Gable? We got on well. Whenever anyone on the set was tired or depressed, it was Gable who cheered that person up. Then the newspapers began printing the story that Gable and I were not getting on. This was so ridiculous it served only as a joke. From the time on the standard greeting between Clark and myself became, 'How are you not getting on today?'
