Image
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
Image
It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
I have always lived my life exactly as I wanted. I've tried to please no one but myself... but I'm entirely content. I can sit back in my old age and not regret a single moment, not wish to change a single thing. It's what I wish for you...a life with no regrets.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
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
Image
Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
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
Image
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
How wonderful are the women and men in the world who feed us. Especially those who feed us with no salary. The mothers—I thought. The wives.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I'm past that age.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
I don't believe in marriage. It's bloody impractical. 'To love, honor, and obey.' If it weren't, you wouldn't have to sign a contract.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
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
Image
If you survive long enough, you're revered - rather like an old building.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
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
Image
You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
I'm a legend because I've survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate - I'm still paddling the goddamned boat myself.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
I have loved and been in love. There's a big difference.
