More quotes by Tallulah Bankhead

Tallulah Bankhead
I have three phobias ...: I hate going to bed, get up and hate hate being alone.
Tallulah Bankhead
I detest acting because it is sheer drudgery.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have been absolutely hag-ridden with ambition. If I could wish to have anything in the world it would be to be free of ambition.
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.
Tallulah Bankhead
Fill what is empty, empty what is full, and scratch where it itches.
