More quotes by Vivien Leigh
Some critics saw fit to say that I was a great actress. I thought that was a foolish, wicket thing to say because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry.
Vivien Leigh
I am going to be a great actress.
Vivien Leigh
I've always been mad about cats.
Vivien Leigh
Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.
Vivien Leigh
I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
Vivien Leigh
I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.
Vivien Leigh
Life is too short to work so hard.
Vivien Leigh
Things are simple when you're going to die.
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.
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
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
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
I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.
Vivien Leigh
My friends, when I was young, were always older than I was, and I've always liked them. And I love old men and old ladies, really. But I've known more elderly men, like Max Beerbohm, like Beranard Berenson, like Somerset Maugham, Winston Churchill-I'd put him first, anyway-what they say is so wise and so good. They know what they're talking about.
Vivien Leigh
When I was at school at Paris, I had special lessons from Mademoiselle Antoine, an actress at the Comedie Francaise, and I was taken to every sort of play. I felt very grand.
Vivien Leigh
Most of us have compromised with life. Those who fight for what they want will always thrill us.
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
You can't act on an empty stomach, because you're breathing's all wrong.
Vivien Leigh
I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
Vivien Leigh
Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants.
