More quotes by Lauren Bacall
I am essentially a loner.
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
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.
Lauren Bacall
The madmen seem to live on forever, don't they?
Lauren Bacall
God if the press ever quoted anyone correctly it would be brilliant.
Lauren Bacall
One thing I am convinced of is that the more you do, the more you can do.
Lauren Bacall
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.
Lauren Bacall
I've always felt that work - learning from people who know more than I know - is what keeps you going.
Lauren Bacall
The reason you get married is to be together, not to be separated.
Lauren Bacall
I've still not gotten my choice of the best roles in the world.
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
Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.
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 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
Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.
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
Acting is a life of rejection.
Lauren Bacall
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.
Lauren Bacall
I am not a has-been. I am a will-be.
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.
