Image
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.

English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously.

Image
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.

I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.
Vivien Leigh

I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.
Vivien Leigh

A lucky thing Eva Peron was. She died at 32. I'm already 45.
Vivien Leigh
Image
I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.

Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.
