Katharine Hepburn
The time to make up your mind about people is never.
Katharine Hepburn
People think that I'm tough and strong and that I kicked my way through everything. But they are wrong. The truth is that when I was young I was adorable and a trembling wreck.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor.
Katharine Hepburn
The terrible thing about acting in the theater is that you have to do it at night.

Katharine Hepburn
