I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.
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.

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

Vivien Leigh
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.
Vivien Leigh

Vivien Leigh
Things are simple when you're going to die.
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.
Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.
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
I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.
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
