    • Olivia: (On the continuing appeal of 1939's "Gone with the Wind") It will go on forever, and how thrilling that is. It has this universal life, this continuing life. Every nation has experienced war - and defeat and renaissance. So all people can identify with the characters. Not only that. It's terribly well-constructed. Something happens every three minutes and it keeps you on your toes and the edge of your seat, which is quite a feat, I must say.
    • Olivia: (When asked during 2006 interview whether or not she missed acting) Not at all. Life is too full of events of great importance. That is more absorbing and enriching than a fantasy life. I don't need a fantasy life as once I did. That is the life of the imagination that I had a great need for. Films were the perfect means for satisfying that need.
    • Olivia: There certainly is such a thing as screen chemistry although I don't believe you find it frequently. There was a definite on-screen chemistry between Errol [Flynn] and me. Before us the most potent example was Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell in the '20s and '30s. People should not be surprised by screen chemistry because, after all, life is chemistry.
