More quotes by 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
I think Edith Evans is the most marvelous actress in the world and she can look beautiful. People who aren't beautiful can look beautiful. She can look as beautiful as Diana Cooper, who was the most beautiful woman in the world.

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
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
I am going to be a great actress.
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.
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
Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.
Vivien Leigh
I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
Vivien Leigh
Life is too short to work so hard.
Vivien Leigh
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
