More quotes by Kim Basinger
When I'm old I'm never going to say,I didn't do this or, I regret that. I'm going to say,I don't regret a damn thing. I came, I went, and I did it all.
Kim Basinger
As a child, I was very shy. Painfully, excruciatingly shy. I hid a lot in my room. I was so terrified to read out loud in school that I had to have my mother ask my reading teacher not to call on me in class.
Kim Basinger
Watching myself still makes me uneasy - and when you're younger, you're even more unforgiving.
Kim Basinger
My dad worked very hard for the money he made, and my mom worked very hard to keep this household up and running and all the kids fed and everything. And she did it in a brilliant fashion. They both did. In fact, the work ethic, to me, is so important in this life.
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.

I didn't really like my birthday as a kid. My mother used to say, Sometimes we'd have a birthday party and you would just wander off. But she said it was just my way in the world. It wasn't anything that I was truly interested in.
Kim Basinger
Once you become a mother, your heart is no longer yours...My daughter is the greatest thing I'll ever do in my life.
Kim Basinger
I'm a highly, highly, highly creative human being. I write music all the time. I write scripts constantly. I run my own production company. I'm also a very determined businesswoman. I've a town to deal with. I've got a lot of things to do and I don't have time to be classified as difficult, and I don't have time to care.
Kim Basinger
I still eat sushi, though I'm trying my best to have my last sushi roll.
Kim Basinger
I think my mother had a lot of opportunity when she was a kid. She was a model, and she did a lot of things in her life, but she had no real ambition. I think my mother really did want a home and kids and all of that.
Kim Basinger
I'm my own worst enemy sometimes when I pick projects.
Kim Basinger
I've played a mother many times, even in tragic things like, I Dreamed of Africa, so I know how it is to lose a child cinematically. I have so much compassion on so many fronts, for women who have lost children or tried for years and couldn't have them.
Kim Basinger
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
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
My dad had even hired an accompanist to play for me on a piano. But he had never pushed me to music because I don't think he wanted me to be hurt as much as he was if it didn't work.
Kim Basinger
I'm not too in love with the word ambition, but I was driven.
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.
Kim Basinger
The media paint ugly pictures about you.
Kim Basinger
I look at marriage and I think marriage is phenomenal. I think it's great. I don't hold anything against marriage.
Kim Basinger
In American cinema, people will take a chance on you, though they'll often remind you that really, they always liked you.
