Tallulah Bankhead
If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
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
My progress reminded me of the horses in The Whip. They raced at the limit of their speed directly toward the audience. But they raced on a treadmill which canceled out their progress.
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm as pure as the driven slush.
Tallulah Bankhead
