More quotes by 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

Tallulah Bankhead
I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have three phobias ...: I hate going to bed, get up and hate hate being alone.
Tallulah Bankhead
I have enemies I've never met - that's fame.
Tallulah Bankhead
Acting is a form of confession.
Tallulah Bankhead
