More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
I am a total me, me, Me person.
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 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
Loved people are loving people.
Katharine Hepburn
Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.
Katharine Hepburn
Enemies are so stimulating.
Katharine Hepburn
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.
Katharine Hepburn
Bogart was like Henry Fonda - proud and happy to be an actor.
Katharine Hepburn
Cold sober, I find myself absolutely fascinating.
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
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
Love fattens on smooth words.
Katharine Hepburn
Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.
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
You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.
Katharine Hepburn
I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him.
Katharine Hepburn
I wear my sort of clothes to save me the trouble of deciding which clothes to wear.
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
When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.
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.
