When you are playing a part like that where you have traveled - you begin to think, God what a great life. Independent, living alone and how dramatic.

Image
I'll miss Hollywood. Of the twenty friends I thought I had, I'll miss the six I really had.

Life is not what you expected it to be.

When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking.
Lauren Bacall
Image
I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it 'content.'
Lauren Bacall
Image
Generally women are better than men -- they have more character. I prefer men for some things, obviously, but women have a greater sense of honor and are more willing to take a chance with their lives.

You realize yourself when you start reflecting - because I don't live in the past, although your past is so much a part of what you are - that you can't ignore it. But I don't look at scrapbooks.

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
Image
I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie. That was the beginning of The Look.
Lauren Bacall
Image
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
Image
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.

I've always felt that work - learning from people who know more than I know - is what keeps you going.
Lauren Bacall
Image
All actors are terrified - they just learn how to control it.
Lauren Bacall
Image
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
Image
They think actors are freaks - that we're a lot of drunks who party all the time and never work. Well, I for one work my tail off.

Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.

I remember my oldest son, Steve, saying to me once, 'I don't ever remember seeing you with an apron on.' And I thought, that's right, honey, you did not. That was his concept of what a mother should be.

I'm total, total, total liberal and proud of it.
