Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
I know I am right for Scarlett. I can convince Mr. Selznick.
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 loved fencing and dancing and elocution.

Life is too short to work so hard.
Vivien Leigh
In Britain, an attractive woman is somehow suspect. If there is talent as well, it is overshadowed. Beauty and brains just can't be entertained someone has been too extravagant. This does not happen in America or on the Continent, for the looks of a woman are considered a positive advertisement for her gifts and don't detract from them.
Vivien Leigh
I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.
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 shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
Vivien Leigh
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
Vivien Leigh
I'm not young. What's wrong with that?
Vivien Leigh
Things are simple when you're going to die.
