More quotes by Tallulah Bankhead
A Republican. A Republican. That's worse than being a goddamned Communist!
Tallulah Bankhead
I've had a man and I've had a woman, and there's got to be something better.
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
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
Say anything about me, darling, as long as it isn't boring.
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 detest acting because it is sheer drudgery.
Tallulah Bankhead
Too many of our countrymen rejoice in stupidity, look upon ignorance as a badge of honor. They condemn everything they don't understand.
Tallulah Bankhead
If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
Tallulah Bankhead
I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.
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
They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.
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 have been tight as a tick! Fried as a mink! Stiff as a goat!
Tallulah Bankhead
I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm as pure as the driven slush.
Tallulah Bankhead
