More quotes by Tallulah Bankhead
It's the good girls who keep diaries the bad girls never have the time.

Tallulah Bankhead
Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time.
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
If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
