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

A lucky thing Eva Peron was. She died at 32. I'm already 45.

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

Vivien Leigh 147 quotes

I cannot let well enough alone...

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

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.

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

My friends, when I was young, ...

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.

My husband, who's the greatest...

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.

But I remember the morning aft...

But I remember the morning after The Mask of Virtue-which is the first play I did at the West End-that some critics saw fit to be as foolish as to say that I was a great actress. And I thought, that was a foolish, wicked thing to say, because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry. And it took me years to learn enough to live up to what they said-for those first notices. I find it so stupid. I remember the critic very well, and have never forgiven him.

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.

I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.

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

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.

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

Who could quarrel with Clark Gable? We got on well. Whenever anyone on the set was tired or depressed, it was Gable who cheered that person up. Then the newspapers began printing the story that Gable and I were not getting on. This was so ridiculous it served only as a joke. From the time on the standard greeting between Clark and myself became, 'How are you not getting on today?'

On the road, they join the bed...

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.'

It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.
