More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
If you survive long enough, you're revered - rather like an old building.
Katharine Hepburn
I always wanted to be a movie actress. I thought it was very romantic. And it was.
Katharine Hepburn
I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him.
Katharine Hepburn
I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.
Katharine Hepburn
People think that I'm tough and strong and that I kicked my way through everything. But they are wrong. The truth is that when I was young I was adorable and a trembling wreck.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
Without discipline, there's no life at all.
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
Cold sober, I find myself absolutely fascinating.
Katharine Hepburn
Enemies are so stimulating.
Katharine Hepburn
I have loved and been in love. There's a big difference.
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
Don't give in! Make your own trail. Don't moan. Don't complain. Think positively.
Katharine Hepburn
It's not what you start in life, it's what you finish.
Katharine Hepburn
