More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
The only time I am ever miserable is when I do something just for the money.
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
You give because you love and cannot help giving.
Katharine Hepburn
The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.
Katharine Hepburn
You sell yourself. The part that I sell is the creature. The adorable part.
Katharine Hepburn
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
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
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
I welcome death. In death there are no interviews!
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
What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate.
Katharine Hepburn
It is the plain women who know about love the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.
Katharine Hepburn
The calla lilies are in bloom again.
Katharine Hepburn
You can’t change the music of your soul.
Katharine Hepburn
Loved people are loving people.
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
What acting means is that you've got to get out of your own skin.
Katharine Hepburn
Nobody owes anybody anything it's up to each individual to set high standards for himself or herself, and to set about working hard and creating a solid future.
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
Few people know what they mean when they say, I love you. ... Well, what does the word love mean? It means total interest. I think the reason very few people really fall in love with anyone is they're not willing to pay the price. The price is you have to adjust yourself to them.
Katharine Hepburn
