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.

More quotes by 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
The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower—suitable to any occasion. I carried them on my wedding day, and now I place them here in memory of something that has died.
Katharine Hepburn
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Katharine Hepburn
Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I'm past that age.
Katharine Hepburn
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
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
Love fattens on smooth words.
Katharine Hepburn
Don't moan, don't whine, don't blame. Just get on with it.
Katharine Hepburn
I like to move fast, and wearing high heels was tough, and low heels with a skirt is unattractive. So pants took over.
Katharine Hepburn
I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for people.
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
Time is the stuff of which life is made.
Katharine Hepburn
Cold sober, I find myself absolutely fascinating.
Katharine Hepburn
Life is full of censorship. I cant spit in your eye.
Katharine Hepburn
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
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
The terrible thing about acting in the theater is that you have to do it at night.
Katharine Hepburn
A boy sows a wild oat or two, the world winks. A girl does the same -- scandal.
Katharine Hepburn
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
I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.
Katharine Hepburn
