Growing up takes longer than you think.
Lauren Bacall
Image
I called my business manager in California and said, 'Sell all of my stock' - what little of it I had - and it's the only smart financial move I ever made.
Lauren Bacall
Image
One thing I am convinced of is that the more you do, the more you can do.
Lauren Bacall
Image
Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.
Lauren Bacall
Image
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.

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

When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking.
Lauren Bacall
Image
His (Frank Sinatra) attention span was not long, shall we say.
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.

The purity of Jewish upbringing - the restrictions that one carries through life being a 'nice Jewish girl' - what a burden.
Lauren Bacall
Image
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.

Image
I'm not a sedentary person. I've always been active.
Lauren Bacall
Image
Life is not what you expected it to be.
Lauren Bacall
Image
No one has ever written a romance better than we lived it.
Lauren Bacall
Image
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
Image
When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness.
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
I am not a wealthy woman. I wish to hell I was, but I never had a wealthy man.
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.

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