More quotes by Vivien Leigh
I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.
Vivien Leigh
I've always been mad about cats.
Vivien Leigh
Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.
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 need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms.
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
Every single night I'm nervous. You never know how the audience is going to react.
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
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
Things are simple when you're going to die.
Vivien Leigh
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
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
I am going to be a great actress.
Vivien Leigh
I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.
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 loved fencing and dancing and elocution.
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
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
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
Vivien Leigh
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.
