More quotes by Vivien Leigh
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.
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
I've always been mad about cats.
Vivien Leigh
I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
Vivien Leigh
My husband, who's the greatest actor in the world, can do anything. Look at what he did in The Critic and Oedipus. In every role he gets-he did this in Richard the Third-there's nothing he can't do, nothing. Just nothing.
Vivien Leigh
I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.
Vivien Leigh
When I come into the theatre I get a sense of security. I love an audience. I love people, and I act because I like trying to give pleasure to people.
Vivien Leigh
I will not be ignored.
Vivien Leigh
Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.
Vivien Leigh
Every single night I'm nervous. You never know how the audience is going to react.
Vivien Leigh
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
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
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
Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
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 shall play Scarlett O'Hara.
Vivien Leigh
I always know my lines.
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
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.
