Image
I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.
Vivien Leigh
Image
I know I am right for Scarlett. I can convince Mr. Selznick.

Image
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!

I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.

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.

My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.
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.

My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
Vivien Leigh
Image
I've always been mad about cats.

Image
I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
Vivien Leigh
Image
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
Image
Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
Image
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
Image
People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.
Vivien Leigh
Image
I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.
Vivien Leigh
Image
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
Image
I'm not young. What's wrong with that?
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.
