More quotes by Vivien Leigh
One is just an interpreter of what the playwright thinks, and therefore the greater the playwright, the more satisfying it is to act in the plays.
Vivien Leigh
I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.
Vivien Leigh
I always know my lines.
Vivien Leigh
I need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms.
Vivien Leigh
Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.
Vivien Leigh
I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
Vivien Leigh
It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.
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'm not young. What's wrong with that?
Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
Vivien Leigh

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
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
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
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.
Vivien Leigh
Things are simple when you're going to die.
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
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
I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.
