More quotes by Lauren Bacall
About working with Marilyn Monroe.We got along very well. My only complaint about her was that she was late all the time, but she was late out of fear as much as anything else, but it was hard to sit around and wait. She was usually an hour or two late every morning.
Lauren Bacall
After the age of 30 in the movie profession, you're pretty well over as far as the casting people are concerned.
Lauren Bacall
I never believed marriage was a lasting institution . . . I thought that to be married for five years was to be married forever.
Lauren Bacall
I'll miss Hollywood. Of the twenty friends I thought I had, I'll miss the six I really had.
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
If there was a pause in a conversation with anyone, you could always light a cigarette, or if a man lit a cigarette for you, you could look up. It's the most dramatic thing in the world because it's intimate, it's suggestive, and that's one of the problems with giving it up, is that it's a very useful tool.
Lauren Bacall
You spend a good part of your adult life acquiring things: building a home, filling it with objects that please your eye and make you feel comfortable. Then you spend the last part of your life trying to figure out how to get rid of it all.
Lauren Bacall
Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.
Lauren Bacall
The purity of Jewish upbringing - the restrictions that one carries through life being a 'nice Jewish girl' - what a burden.
Lauren Bacall
I would hate now to be married. It does occur to me on occasion that, if I fall and hit my head, there will be no one to make the phone call. But who wants to think about that disaster, I'd prefer not to.
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
Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. They only think of stardom. If you photograph well, that's enough. I have a terrible time distinguishing one from another. Girls wear their hair the same, and are much too anorexic-looking.
Lauren Bacall
I always brought up my children not to believe in Mothers Day gifts, and now I regret it.
Lauren Bacall
Always I'm feeling, 'You're never going to work again.' That's going to happen one day, but I hope I'm not alive.
Lauren Bacall
I'm not a sedentary person. I've always been active.
Lauren Bacall
People should tell your children what life is all about - it's about work.
Lauren Bacall
I'm crazy enough to believe in taking chances in every way, in making choices and gambling with your life. That's the kind of gambling I believe in.
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'm a total Democrat. I'm anti-Republican. And it's only fair that you know it... I'm liberal. The L word!
Lauren Bacall
A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?
