More quotes by Vivien Leigh
I am going to be a great actress.
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
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
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
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
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
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 have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.
Vivien Leigh
I'm not young. What's wrong with that?
Vivien Leigh
Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
I always know my lines.
Vivien Leigh
I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.
