More quotes by Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't think that work ever really destroyed anybody. I think that lack of work destroys them a hell of a lot more.
Katharine Hepburn
The time to make up your mind about people is never.
Katharine Hepburn
I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
Katharine Hepburn
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
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
Life is very hard, isn't it? It does kill you, after all.
Katharine Hepburn
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
