More quotes by Vivien Leigh
I need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms.
Vivien Leigh
I am going to be a great actress.
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 will not be ignored.
Vivien Leigh
People who are very beautiful make their own laws.
Vivien Leigh
I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.
Vivien Leigh
Every single night I'm nervous.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
I know I am right for Scarlett. I can convince Mr. Selznick.
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
I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.

In Britain, an attractive woman is somehow suspect. If there is talent as well, it is overshadowed. Beauty and brains just can't be entertained someone has been too extravagant. This does not happen in America or on the Continent, for the looks of a woman are considered a positive advertisement for her gifts and don't detract from them.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.
Vivien Leigh
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
Vivien Leigh
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
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.
