More quotes by 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
Acting is a form of confession.
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'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess.
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

Tallulah Bankhead
I've had a man and I've had a woman, and there's got to be something better.
Tallulah Bankhead
They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.
Tallulah Bankhead
It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work - the night watchman.
Tallulah Bankhead
Fill what is empty, empty what is full, and scratch where it itches.
Tallulah Bankhead
Say anything about me, darling, as long as it isn't boring.
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
If I were well behaved, I'd die of boredom.
Tallulah Bankhead
I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.
