More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
Bogart was like Henry Fonda - proud and happy to be an actor.
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
You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
My father, a surgeon and urologist, studied sex professionally all his life. Before he died at 82, he told me he hadn't come to any conclusions about it at all.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
I've made forty-three pictures. Naturally I'm adorable in all of them.
Katharine Hepburn
You sell yourself. The part that I sell is the creature. The adorable part.
Katharine Hepburn
Love fattens on smooth words.
Katharine Hepburn
I wear my sort of clothes to save me the trouble of deciding which clothes to wear.
Katharine Hepburn
If you survive long enough, you're revered - rather like an old building.
Katharine Hepburn
I thought, can you think of any really good reason not to do it? Except that, oh, I'm so shy, or oh, my private life, or oh, are they going to find out how boring I am? You know? And that was the only reason now, in a sense, not to do television. Because it certainly is a method of expression, which has to be accepted as these things come along.
Katharine Hepburn
I would have been a terrible mother because I'm basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.
Katharine Hepburn
