My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.

Image
I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.

I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.

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. But I've known more elderly men, like Max Beerbohm, like Beranard Berenson, like Somerset Maugham, Winston Churchill-I'd put him first, anyway-what they say is so wise and so good. They know what they're talking about.

Vivien Leigh
Image
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
Image
I am going to be a great actress.
Vivien Leigh
Image
Every single night I'm nervous.
Vivien Leigh
Image
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.

People who are very beautiful make their own laws.
Vivien Leigh
Image
Life is too short to work so hard.
Vivien Leigh
Image
I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.
Vivien Leigh

I'm not young. What's wrong with that?
Vivien Leigh

You can't act on an empty stomach, because you're breathing's all wrong.
