More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
You are the only person you can actually change
Katharine Hepburn
The terrible thing about acting in the theater is that you have to do it at night.
Katharine Hepburn
Time is the stuff of which life is made.
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
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Katharine Hepburn

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
You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
I'm what is known as gradually disintegrating. I don't fear the next world, or anything. I don't fear hell, and I don't look forward to heaven.
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
Listen to the song of life.
Katharine Hepburn
People who want to be famous are really loners. Or they should be.
Katharine Hepburn
The lack of work destroys people.
Katharine Hepburn
I've made forty-three pictures. Naturally I'm adorable in all of them.
Katharine Hepburn
