More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
The terrible thing about acting in the theater is that you have to do it at night.
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
We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
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
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

Katharine Hepburn
People have grown fond of me, like some old building.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor.
Katharine Hepburn
It's not what you start in life, it's what you finish.
Katharine Hepburn
Afraid of death? Not at all. Be a great relief. Then I wouldn't have to talk to you.
Katharine Hepburn
I always wanted to be a movie actress. I thought it was very romantic. And it was.
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
If you survive long enough, you're revered - rather like an old building.
Katharine Hepburn
Enemies are so stimulating.
Katharine Hepburn
If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.
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
You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.
Katharine Hepburn
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Katharine Hepburn
