More quotes by Vivien Leigh
Having lost Rhett, she can always return to the land - to Tara, to soak up its strength. . . . Tara! . . . Home. I'll go home, and I'll think of some way to get him back! After all, tomorrow is another day!
Vivien Leigh
My birth sign is Scorpio and they eat themselves up and burn themselves out. I swing between happiness and misery. I am part prude and part nonconformist. I say what I think and I don't pretend and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my actions.
Vivien Leigh

Vivien Leigh
I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
Vivien Leigh
I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.
Vivien Leigh
Some critics saw fit to say that I was a great actress. I thought that was a foolish, wicket thing to say because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry.
Vivien Leigh
Things are simple when you're going to die.
Vivien Leigh
Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.
Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
Vivien Leigh
I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
