More quotes by Lauren Bacall
Life is not what you expected it to be.
Lauren Bacall
I had a lot of frustrations about my career. A lot of, you know, times where I felt I should've been considered for a part that I wasn't considered for.
Lauren Bacall
Well, the people I've known I must say are extraordinary. When I think about some of them, I can't believe that I knew them all. And I think the reason I knew most of them at the beginning was because they were of Bogie's generation, 25 years my senior, not mine. But they were the most talented people of all.
Lauren Bacall
I always brought up my children not to believe in Mothers Day gifts, and now I regret it.
Lauren Bacall
the real stakes in the theater are high - they are life stakes. That's what I love about it. You gamble with your life, and that's a gamble worth taking.
Lauren Bacall
The purity of Jewish upbringing - the restrictions that one carries through life being a 'nice Jewish girl' - what a burden.
Lauren Bacall
The times in which we're currently living unfortunately, our great leader [George W. Bush] is such a disaster and the entire country is in disastrous shape because of him. It's very frightening, actually, to think that this country has become what it's become and that so many people voted for a man like that. It's terrifying.
Lauren Bacall
I don't think being the only child of a single parent helped. I was always a little unsteady in my self-belief. Then there was the Jewish thing. I love being Jewish, I have no problem with it at all. But it did become like a scar, with all these people saying you don't look it.
Lauren Bacall
I'm total, total, total liberal and proud of it.
Lauren Bacall
Isn't hope an incredible, a wonderfully demented thing?
Lauren Bacall
If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?
Lauren Bacall
I'll miss Hollywood. Of the twenty friends I thought I had, I'll miss the six I really had.
Lauren Bacall
As long as I can walk and talk, I'll try almost anything. I say almost because the high wire is definitely out.
Lauren Bacall
You learn to cope with whatever you have to cope with. I spent my childhood in New York, riding on subways and buses. And you know what you learn if you're a New Yorker? The world doesn't owe you a damn thing.
Lauren Bacall
Growing up takes longer than you think.
Lauren Bacall
No one has ever written a romance better than we lived it.
Lauren Bacall
When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness.

When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking.
Lauren Bacall
Losing Bogey was horrible, obviously. Because he was young. And because he gave me my life. I wouldn't have had a - I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't met him. I would have had a completely different kind of life. He changed me, he gave me everything. And he was an extraordinary man.
Lauren Bacall
How in hell can you handle love without turning your life upside down? That's what love does, it changes everything.
Lauren Bacall
