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
Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.
Katharine Hepburn
You are the only person you can actually change
Katharine Hepburn
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
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
Its a force of life, sex you cant deny the thrill of riding high, wide and handsome with someone you love.
Katharine Hepburn
I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.
Katharine Hepburn
Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.
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
Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.
Katharine Hepburn

I always wanted to be a movie actress. I thought it was very romantic. And it was.
Katharine Hepburn
I thought, can you think of any really good reason not to do it? Except that, oh, I'm so shy, or oh, my private life, or oh, are they going to find out how boring I am? You know? And that was the only reason now, in a sense, not to do television. Because it certainly is a method of expression, which has to be accepted as these things come along.
Katharine Hepburn
I was brought up by two extremely intelligent people who gave me the greatest gift that man can give anyone, and that is freedom from fear.
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
Bogart was like Henry Fonda - proud and happy to be an actor.
Katharine Hepburn
The only time I am ever miserable is when I do something just for the money.
Katharine Hepburn
Time is the stuff of which life is made.
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
