More quotes by 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
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
There is less in this than meets the eye.
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

Tallulah Bankhead
I have been tight as a tick! Fried as a mink! Stiff as a goat!
Tallulah Bankhead
Fill what is empty, empty what is full, and scratch where it itches.
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm as pure as the driven slush.
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
Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time.
Tallulah Bankhead
Say anything about me, darling, as long as it isn't boring.
Tallulah Bankhead
A Republican. A Republican. That's worse than being a goddamned Communist!
Tallulah Bankhead
It's the good girls who keep diaries the bad girls never have the time.
