Quote

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.

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.
Vivien Leigh
Image
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.

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
Image
Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.
Vivien Leigh
Image
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.

Scarlett: You should die of shame to leave me here alone and helpless. Rhett: You helpless? (laughs) Heaven help the Yankees if they capture you.

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.

I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.

Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.

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

Image
My first husband and I are still good friends and there is no earthly reason why I should not see him. Larry and I are very much in love.

I always know my lines.

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.

Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.

English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously.

It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.

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.

I need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms.

Scarlett tells Mammy: I'm too young to be a widow. She weeps to her mother: My life is over. Nothing will ever happen to me anymore. Her mother comforts her: It's only natural to want to look young and be young when you are young.
