More quotes by 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
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.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
Vivien Leigh

Vivien Leigh
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.
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
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
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
Vivien Leigh
Every single night I'm nervous. You never know how the audience is going to react.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.

Things are simple when you're going to die.
