More quotes by Tallulah Bankhead
I detest acting because it is sheer drudgery.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have enemies I've never met - that's fame.
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess.
Tallulah Bankhead
There is less in this than meets the eye.
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, 'I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.'
Tallulah Bankhead
Fill what is empty, empty what is full, and scratch where it itches.
Tallulah Bankhead
I've had a man and I've had a woman, and there's got to be something better.
Tallulah Bankhead
It's the good girls who keep diaries the bad girls never have the time.
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm as pure as the driven slush.
Tallulah Bankhead
If I were well behaved, I'd die of boredom.
Tallulah Bankhead
I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.
Tallulah Bankhead
Don't think this has taught me a lesson !
Tallulah Bankhead
Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time.
Tallulah Bankhead
[On being asked in her later years if she were Tallulah:] I'm what's left of her, dahling.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have been tight as a tick! Fried as a mink! Stiff as a goat!
Tallulah Bankhead
For acting, darlings, is the world's most perilous trade. Compared with actors, steeple jacks and deep-sea divers lead snug and placid lives.
Tallulah Bankhead
I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.
Tallulah Bankhead
No man worth his salt, no man of spirit and spine, no man for whom I could have any respect, could rejoice in the identification of Tallulah's husband. It's tough enough to be bogged down in a legend. It would be even tougher to marry one.
Tallulah Bankhead
They say it's the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time. Me, I just wanna live a life I'm gonna remember even if I don't write it down.
Tallulah Bankhead
Do you know what my ambition is in life? To be without ambition. As far back as I can remember I've been absolutely hag-ridden. I'd like to attain the state of mind that the Indians call Nirvana. That, for me, would happen if I were free of ambition.
