More quotes by 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
All actors are terrified - they just learn how to control it.
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.

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
Find me a man who's interesting enough to have dinner with and I'll be happy.

Lauren Bacall
Acting is a life of rejection.
Lauren Bacall
Naïveté, thy name is me.
Lauren Bacall
His (Frank Sinatra) attention span was not long, shall we say.
Lauren Bacall
If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?
Lauren Bacall
One thing I am convinced of is that the more you do, the more you can do.
Lauren Bacall
Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.
Lauren Bacall
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.
Lauren Bacall
The reason you get married is to be together, not to be separated.
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
When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking.
Lauren Bacall
Growing up takes longer than you think.
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
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
