More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
Katharine Hepburn
When I’ve been unsuccessful, I’ve been controlled. When I’ve been successful, I’ve been in control.
Katharine Hepburn
The notion that work is a burden is a terrible mistake. Working and facing up to one's responsibilities: That's happiness.
Katharine Hepburn
I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.
Katharine Hepburn
The thing about life is that you must survive. Life is going to be difficult, and dreadful things will happen. What you do is move along, get on with it, and be tough. Not in the sense of being mean to others, but being tough with yourself and making a deadly effort not to be defeated.
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
It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
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
What acting means is that you've got to get out of your own skin.
Katharine Hepburn
Everyone thought I was bold and fearless and even arrogant, but inside I was always quaking.
Katharine Hepburn
You can’t change the music of your soul.
Katharine Hepburn
Loved people are loving people.
Katharine Hepburn
You give because you love and cannot help giving.
Katharine Hepburn
My, I like Judy Holliday! She looks like a Monet model. And she's so - so defenseless. I like defenseless people. They're the best.
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
You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.
Katharine Hepburn
Who is Katharine Hepburn? It took me a long time to create that creature.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't feel the slightest interest in the next world I think it's here. And I think anything good that you're going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world.
Katharine Hepburn
Bogart was like Henry Fonda - proud and happy to be an actor.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't believe in marriage. It's bloody impractical. 'To love, honor, and obey.' If it weren't, you wouldn't have to sign a contract.
Katharine Hepburn
