Katharine Hepburn:

- If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.


-Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.

-Acting is the most minor of gifts. After all, Shirley Temple could do it when she was four.

-Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn't interest you, don't do it - I would have made a terrible mother.

-I have many regrets, and I'm sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret if you have any sense, and if you don't regret them, maybe you're stupid.

-I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.

-If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.

-It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack.

-It's a rather rude gesture, but at least it's clear what you mean.

-It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

-Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

-Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.

-To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.

-Trying to be fascinating is an asinine position to be in.

-Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.
