Lauren Bacall
I'm total, total, total liberal and proud of it.
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
I am not a has-been. I am a will-be.
Lauren Bacall
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.
Lauren Bacall
Naïveté, thy name is me.
Lauren Bacall
