I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.
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
Every single night I'm nervous. You never know how the audience is going to react.
Vivien Leigh
I shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
Vivien Leigh
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things. I am a very impatient person and headstrong. If I've made up my mind to do something, I can't be persuaded out of it.
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.

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 a most wonderful, wonderful play.
Vivien Leigh
Some critics saw fit to say that I was a great actress. I thought that was a foolish, wicket thing to say because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry.
Vivien Leigh
Things are simple when you're going to die.
Vivien Leigh
Every single night I'm nervous.
Vivien Leigh
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
My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.
Vivien Leigh
Life is too short to work so hard.
Vivien Leigh
Most of us have compromised with life. Those who fight for what they want will always thrill us.
