More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn't interest you, don't do it - I would have made a terrible mother.
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
I find a woman's point of view much grander and finer than a man's.
Katharine Hepburn
The lack of work destroys people.
Katharine Hepburn
I can't say I believe in prizes. I was a whiz in the three-legged race - that's something you CAN win.
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
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
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
Listen to the song of life.
Katharine Hepburn
My, I like Judy Holliday! She looks like a Monet model. And she's so - so defenseless. I like defenseless people. They're the best.
Katharine Hepburn
You give because you love and cannot help giving.
Katharine Hepburn
If you need a helping hand, you can find one at the end of your arm.
Katharine Hepburn
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Katharine Hepburn
I always wanted to be a movie actress. I thought it was very romantic. And it was.
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
I've made forty-three pictures. Naturally I'm adorable in all of them.
Katharine Hepburn
Being an actor is such a humiliating experience because you are selling yourself to the public, your face, your personality, and that is humiliating. As you get older, it becomes more humiliating because you've got less to sell.
Katharine Hepburn
When I’ve been unsuccessful, I’ve been controlled. When I’ve been successful, I’ve been in control.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor.
Katharine Hepburn
