I'm not young. What's wrong with that?
Vivien Leigh
Life is too short to work so hard.

Vivien Leigh
I've always been mad about cats.
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.

My friends, when I was young, were always older than I was, and I've always liked them. And I love old men and old ladies, really.

They know what they're talking about.
Vivien Leigh
I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.
Vivien Leigh

I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
Vivien Leigh
It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.
Vivien Leigh
I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.
Vivien Leigh
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.
Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
Vivien Leigh
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.
