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.

More quotes by Vivien Leigh
I am going to be a great actress.
Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
Vivien Leigh
Things are simple when you're going to die.
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
One is just an interpreter of what the playwright thinks, and therefore the greater the playwright, the more satisfying it is to act in the plays.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
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.
Vivien Leigh
I'm not young. What's wrong with that?
Vivien Leigh
I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.
Vivien Leigh
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things. I am a very impatient person and headstrong. If I've made up my mind to do something, I can't be persuaded out of it.
Vivien Leigh
I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
Vivien Leigh
I always know my lines.
Vivien Leigh
I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.
Vivien Leigh
I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.
Vivien Leigh
My husband, who's the greatest actor in the world, can do anything. Look at what he did in The Critic and Oedipus. In every role he gets-he did this in Richard the Third-there's nothing he can't do, nothing. Just nothing.
Vivien Leigh
When I come into the theatre I get a sense of security. I love an audience. I love people, and I act because I like trying to give pleasure to people.
Vivien Leigh
I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
