More quotes by Vivien Leigh
I always know my lines.
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
Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
My husband, who's the greatest actor in the world, can do anything. Look at what he did in The Critic and Oedipus. In every role he gets-he did this in Richard the Third-there's nothing he can't do, nothing. Just nothing.
Vivien Leigh
Things are simple when you're going to die.
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 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

Vivien Leigh

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
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 know I am right for Scarlett. I can convince Mr. Selznick.
Vivien Leigh
A lucky thing Eva Peron was. She died at 32. I'm already 45.
Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
I need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms.
Vivien Leigh
I will not be ignored.
Vivien Leigh
Every single night I'm nervous.
Vivien Leigh
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
