More quotes by Vivien Leigh
You can't act on an empty stomach, because you're breathing's all wrong.
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
Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk's spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn't going to be any war. . . . If either of you boys says 'war' just once again, I'll go in the house and slam the door.

Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.
Vivien Leigh
My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.
Vivien Leigh
I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
Vivien Leigh
A lucky thing Eva Peron was. She died at 32. I'm already 45.
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
People who are very beautiful make their own laws.
Vivien Leigh
I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
Vivien Leigh
When I come into the theatre I get a sense of security. I love an audience. I love people, and I act because I like trying to give pleasure to people.
Vivien Leigh
Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.
Vivien Leigh
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.
