More quotes by 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
Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. They only think of stardom. If you photograph well, that's enough. I have a terrible time distinguishing one from another. Girls wear their hair the same, and are much too anorexic-looking.
Lauren Bacall
Remember what Bogie and my mother both used to say: 'Character is the most important thing. All that matters is character!'
Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall
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

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
God if the press ever quoted anyone correctly it would be brilliant.
Lauren Bacall
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
I'm not a sedentary person. I've always been active.
Lauren Bacall
I am not a wealthy woman. I wish to hell I was, but I never had a wealthy man.
Lauren Bacall
Men need to feel important. They feel better when they're with younger girls or unknown girls.
Lauren Bacall
People should tell your children what life is all about - it's about work.
Lauren Bacall
I always brought up my children not to believe in Mothers Day gifts, and now I regret it.
Lauren Bacall
I would hate now to be married. It does occur to me on occasion that, if I fall and hit my head, there will be no one to make the phone call. But who wants to think about that disaster, I'd prefer not to.
Lauren Bacall
I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.
Lauren Bacall
There are guys who want to screw around all the time, which interests me not at all. God knows we've done that, been there, and we don't want to do that any more.
Lauren Bacall
