More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
I can't say I believe in prizes. I was a whiz in the three-legged race - that's something you CAN win.
Katharine Hepburn
What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate.
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

Katharine Hepburn
Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn't interest you, don't do it - I would have made a terrible mother.
Katharine Hepburn
The time to make up your mind about people is never.
Katharine Hepburn
Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.
Katharine Hepburn
The lack of work destroys people.
Katharine Hepburn
You are the only person you can actually change
Katharine Hepburn
My greatest strength is common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.
Katharine Hepburn
I am a total me, me, Me person.
Katharine Hepburn
Being an actor is such a humiliating experience because you are selling yourself to the public, your face, your personality, and that is humiliating. As you get older, it becomes more humiliating because you've got less to sell.
Katharine Hepburn
Two of an actress's greatest assets are love and pain. A great actress, even a good actress, must have plenty of both in her life.
