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
I've always felt that work - learning from people who know more than I know - is what keeps you going.
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
In the world of relationships, possibly the most complicated, uncommon, hard to find, hard to keep and most rewarding has got to be friendship.
Lauren Bacall
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
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
As long as I can walk and talk, I'll try almost anything. I say almost because the high wire is definitely out.
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
The best things in life are clean living, good works, and big saphires. And not in that order.
Lauren Bacall
