More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
The thing about life is that you must survive. Life is going to be difficult, and dreadful things will happen. What you do is move along, get on with it, and be tough. Not in the sense of being mean to others, but being tough with yourself and making a deadly effort not to be defeated.
Katharine Hepburn
Isn't it fun getting older? is really a terrible fallacy. That's like saying I prefer driving an old car with a flat tire.
Katharine Hepburn

Few people know what they mean when they say, I love you. ... Well, what does the word love mean? It means total interest. I think the reason very few people really fall in love with anyone is they're not willing to pay the price. The price is you have to adjust yourself to them.
Katharine Hepburn
Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.
Katharine Hepburn
Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.

Katharine Hepburn
What acting means is that you've got to get out of your own skin.
Katharine Hepburn
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but what are you going to do now? is the only thing that matters.
Katharine Hepburn
To live creatively free, do what you know how to do now, then 'act as if' you know how to do the rest.
Katharine Hepburn
Just write the best you can about the things that concern you most. I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.
Katharine Hepburn
I'm what is known as gradually disintegrating. I don't fear the next world, or anything. I don't fear hell, and I don't look forward to heaven.
Katharine Hepburn
If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.
Katharine Hepburn
It's either some kind of electricity or some kind of energy. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, I've got it.
Katharine Hepburn
