Katharine Hepburn
You sell yourself. The part that I sell is the creature. The adorable part.
Katharine Hepburn
If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.
Katharine Hepburn
Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.
Katharine Hepburn
Love fattens on smooth words.
Katharine Hepburn
When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't care WHAT the say about me, as long as it's not the truth
Katharine Hepburn
The terrible thing about acting in the theater is that you have to do it at night.
