What is the thing that Hollywood demands most? Sincerity. No place in the world will pay such a high price for this admirable trait.

My desire for the part of Mammy was not dominated by selfishness for Hollywood has been good to me and I am grateful.

I don't belong on this earth. I always feel out of place - like a visitor.

When I was little, my mother taught me how to use a fork and knife. The trouble is that Mother forget to teach me how to stop using them!

That's a powerful lucky rabbit's foot. I got the part in Gone With the Wind because of it. I got my Warner contract, thanks to it.

Putting a little time aside for clean fun and good humor is very necessary to relieve the tensions of our time.
