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.

More quotes by Vivien Leigh
I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
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
You know the passage where Scarlett voices her happiness that her mother is dead, so that she can't see what a bad girl Scarlett has become? Well, that's me.
Vivien Leigh
People who are very beautiful make their own laws.
Vivien Leigh
My birth sign is Scorpio and they eat themselves up and burn themselves out. I swing between happiness and misery. I am part prude and part nonconformist. I say what I think and I don't pretend and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my actions.
Vivien Leigh
I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.

Vivien Leigh
I am going to be a great actress.
Vivien Leigh
Every single night I'm nervous. You never know how the audience is going to react.
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
I'm not a film star I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.
Vivien Leigh
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.
Vivien Leigh
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
Vivien Leigh
People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.
Vivien Leigh
