More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.
Katharine Hepburn
He's worked his entire life and he's never lived a single moment, I mean not a moment, in the real world.
Katharine Hepburn
In some ways I've lived my life like a man, made my own decisions, etc. I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep going.
Katharine Hepburn
Everyone thought I was bold and fearless and even arrogant, but inside I was always quaking.
Katharine Hepburn
When I’ve been unsuccessful, I’ve been controlled. When I’ve been successful, I’ve been in control.
Katharine Hepburn
It's either some kind of electricity or some kind of energy. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, I've got it.
Katharine Hepburn
Enemies are so stimulating.
Katharine Hepburn
I think all good actors are personalities. If they're not, they're not stars. What makes you a star is horsepower.
Katharine Hepburn
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
You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.
Katharine Hepburn
Afraid of death? Not at all. Be a great relief. Then I wouldn't have to talk to you.
Katharine Hepburn
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
It's not what you start in life, it's what you finish.
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
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
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
If it interests you, they don't have to pay you. It's a fascinating business anyway-it's very nice to be paid-but when you do thrilling material, it's like buying a piece of furniture that's really good.
Katharine Hepburn
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
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
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
