More quotes by 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.

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.

I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.

Classical plays require more imagination and more general training to be able to do. That's why I like playing Shakespeare better than anything else.

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.

I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
