More quotes by 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
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
If I were well behaved, I'd die of boredom.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have been tight as a tick! Fried as a mink! Stiff as a goat!
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
Don't think this has taught me a lesson !
Tallulah Bankhead

Tallulah Bankhead
I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.
Tallulah Bankhead
Say anything about me, darling, as long as it isn't boring.

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
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
Drink reacts on its practitioners in conflicting ways. One brave can knock off a quart of Scotch and look and act as sober as Herbert Hoover. Another, after three Martinis, makes two-cushion carroms off the chaise lounge as he attempts to negotiate the bathroom.
Tallulah Bankhead
Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.
Tallulah Bankhead
Fill what is empty, empty what is full, and scratch where it itches.
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
I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.
Tallulah Bankhead
It's the good girls who keep diaries the bad girls never have the time.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have three phobias ...: I hate going to bed, get up and hate hate being alone.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have enemies I've never met - that's fame.
Tallulah Bankhead
Acting is a form of confession.
