It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.
Vivien Leigh
Image
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.
Vivien Leigh
Image
I think Edith Evans is the most marvelous actress in the world and she can look beautiful. People who aren't beautiful can look beautiful. She can look as beautiful as Diana Cooper, who was the most beautiful woman in the world.

My friends, when I was young, were always older than I was, and I've always liked them. And I love old men and old ladies, really. But I've known more elderly men, like Max Beerbohm, like Beranard Berenson, like Somerset Maugham, Winston Churchill-I'd put him first, anyway-what they say is so wise and so good. They know what they're talking about.

Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk's spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn't going to be any war. . . . If either of you boys says 'war' just once again, I'll go in the house and slam the door.

I know I am right for Scarlett. I can convince Mr. Selznick.
Vivien Leigh
Image
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.

I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
Vivien Leigh

English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously.

Classical plays require more imagination and more general training to be able to do. That's why I like playing Shakespeare better than anything else.

Scarlett: You should die of shame to leave me here alone and helpless. Rhett: You helpless? (laughs) Heaven help the Yankees if they capture you.
Vivien Leigh

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

I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.

Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.
