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
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
Life is too short to work so hard.

I'm not young. What's wrong with that?
Vivien Leigh
I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
