More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.
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
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 had twenty years of perfect companionship with a man among men. He is a rock and a protection. I have never regretted it.
Katharine Hepburn
The terrible thing about acting in the theater is that you have to do it at night.
Katharine Hepburn
What acting means is that you've got to get out of your own skin.
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
Its a force of life, sex you cant deny the thrill of riding high, wide and handsome with someone you love.
Katharine Hepburn
It is the plain women who know about love the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.
Katharine Hepburn
It's a new low for actresses when you have to wonder what is between her ears instead of her legs.
Katharine Hepburn
You sell yourself. The part that I sell is the creature. The adorable part.
Katharine Hepburn
If you need a helping hand, you can find one at the end of your arm.
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
If it interests you, they don't have to pay you. It's a fascinating business anyway-it's very nice to be paid-but when you do thrilling material, it's like buying a piece of furniture that's really good.
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
Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.
Katharine Hepburn
The lack of work destroys people.
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
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
