More quotes by Kim Basinger
I've been so blessed because I've had such longevity. I'm not a big red carpet girl. But I love the work. In this business, you can be at the top of the world and at the bottom of the barrel, and you're grape juice. I've been at both ends. It can make you become what you really are.

My dad studied at the American Conservatory in Chicago, so he lived on all those streets. He said the war probably saved his life because he'd have ended up a dead musician, with all the crazy stuff they did on Rush Street back in the day.
Kim Basinger

Kim Basinger
When it comes to exchanges with people, I think, the more genuine you can be, the more giving you can be, the more you will, in the end, feel fulfilled.
Kim Basinger
I've done so many dramas in my life, and people don't even know I came from comedy.
Kim Basinger
Parents can be very influential in designing those little creepy-crawlers that jump around in your mind for the rest of your life. It's the fear of not being good enough.
Kim Basinger
I just thank god that I didn't grow up with so much money or privilege because you had to create ways to make it happen.
Kim Basinger
