Image
A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?
Lauren Bacall
Image
Isn't hope an incredible, a wonderfully demented thing?

Image
The purity of Jewish upbringing - the restrictions that one carries through life being a 'nice Jewish girl' - what a burden.
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
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
Image
How in hell can you handle love without turning your life upside down? That's what love does, it changes everything.

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.

Image
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
Image
A planned life is a dead life.
Lauren Bacall

The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.
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
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
Image
You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now.
Lauren Bacall
Image
I am not a has-been. I am a will-be.
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.
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.

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
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.
