More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
It's either some kind of electricity or some kind of energy. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, I've got it.
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
I am a total me, me, Me person.
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.
Katharine Hepburn
People have grown fond of me, like some old building.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
You never feel that you have fame. It's always in back of you.
Katharine Hepburn
I would have been a terrible mother because I'm basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.
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 don't care WHAT the say about me, as long as it's not the truth
Katharine Hepburn
The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower—suitable to any occasion. I carried them on my wedding day, and now I place them here in memory of something that has died.
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
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
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
