Isn't it fun getting older? is really a terrible fallacy. That's like saying I prefer driving an old car with a flat tire.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
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

What acting means is that you've got to get out of your own skin.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
Friendship, if somebody holds out his hand toward you, you've got to reach and take it... There are too many people alone, and if you're lucky enough for somebody to want you as a friend, it's an obligation.
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
My, I like Judy Holliday! She looks like a Monet model. And she's so - so defenseless. I like defenseless people. They're the best.
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 don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
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
Image
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.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I've just done what I damn well wanted to, and I've made enough money to support myself, and ain't afraid of being alone
