More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
I have loved and been in love. There's a big difference.
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've made forty-three pictures. Naturally I'm adorable in all of them.
Katharine Hepburn
Afraid of death? Not at all. Be a great relief. Then I wouldn't have to talk to you.
Katharine Hepburn
Listen to the song of life.
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
You can say or write anything about me you like. Just don't, for any reason, ever tell the truth.
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
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
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but what are you going to do now? is the only thing that matters.
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
You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.
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
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
Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.
Katharine Hepburn
If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.
Katharine Hepburn
Just write the best you can about the things that concern you most. I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.
Katharine Hepburn
I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
Katharine Hepburn
He's worked his entire life and he's never lived a single moment, I mean not a moment, in the real world.
Katharine Hepburn
When I’ve been unsuccessful, I’ve been controlled. When I’ve been successful, I’ve been in control.
Katharine Hepburn
