I am essentially a loner.
Lauren Bacall
Image
I'm not a sedentary person. I've always been active.

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.

Legends are all to do with the past and nothing to do with the present.

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
If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?
Lauren Bacall
Image
The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.
Lauren Bacall
Image
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
Image
I never believed marriage was a lasting institution . . . I thought that to be married for five years was to be married forever.
Lauren Bacall
Image
I've still not gotten my choice of the best roles in the world.
Lauren Bacall
Image
I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.
Lauren Bacall
Image
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
Image
Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.
Lauren Bacall
Image
The purity of Jewish upbringing - the restrictions that one carries through life being a 'nice Jewish girl' - what a burden.
