More quotes by Tallulah Bankhead

Tallulah Bankhead
A Republican. A Republican. That's worse than being a goddamned Communist!
Tallulah Bankhead
I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.
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
Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there's no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.
Tallulah Bankhead
In my lifetime I've been to bed with men, women, and odd pieces of furniture.
Tallulah Bankhead
There is less in this than meets the eye.
Tallulah Bankhead
If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
