Katharine Hepburn

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.

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

I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.

As for my looks, I'm not a beauty, I'm a friendly face.

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

I don't regret anything I've ever done, as long as I enjoyed it at the time.

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

I am a personality, not an actress. I am not a great actress. I never was. I am a personality.

Enemies are so stimulating.

Plain living and high thinking are no more.

I'm a legend because I've survived.

The most important thing in life is to live your life and not be afraid.

I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I've just done what I damn well wanted to, and I've made enough money to support myself, and I ain't afraid of anybody.

What is love? It is the morning and the evening star.

Acting is a nice childish profession, pretending to be someone else and all.

Without discipline, there's no life at all.

I don't believe in marriage. It's a waste of money.

I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of not living.

I was born a character.

The minute you're not nervous, you're no good.
