More quotes by 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
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
Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
Vivien Leigh
Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.
Vivien Leigh
I am going to be a great actress.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
On the road, they join the bedraggled remnants of a column of exhausted Confederate soldiers evacuating burning Atlanta. Rhett makes her take note of the scene: Take a good look, my dear. It's a historic moment. You can tell your grandchildren how you watched the Old South disappear one night.
Vivien Leigh
I'm not a film star I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.
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 was at school at Paris, I had special lessons from Mademoiselle Antoine, an actress at the Comedie Francaise, and I was taken to every sort of play. I felt very grand.
Vivien Leigh
Tired of all her efforts at Tara, Scarlett wishes to escape too: I do want to escape too! I'm so very tired of it all!. . . The South is dead, it's dead, the Yankees and the carpetbaggers have got it and there's nothing left for us.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.
Vivien Leigh
You can't act on an empty stomach, because you're breathing's all wrong.
Vivien Leigh
