More quotes by Vivien Leigh
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.
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
Life is too short to work so hard.

Every single night I'm nervous.
Vivien Leigh

Scarlett tells Mammy: I'm too young to be a widow. She weeps to her mother: My life is over. Nothing will ever happen to me anymore. Her mother comforts her: It's only natural to want to look young and be young when you are young.
Vivien Leigh
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
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
I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
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
I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.
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
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.
