I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
Vivien Leigh
Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.

Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
I know I am right for Scarlett. I can convince Mr. Selznick.
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
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
