Lauren Bacall Quotes
“When you talk about a great actor, you’re not talking about Tom Cruise.”“Bogie said himself that dead is dead and life is for the living and you’ve got to move on - and if you don’t, it’s self-indukgent and does the dead no good. He said it dishonoured them because if they gave you so little care for your own life, then they didn’t leave you with very much.” “I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it ‘content.’” “Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.” “It’s inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially.” “Looking at yourself in a mirror isn’t exactly a study of life.” “It’s been misspelt a lot. He decided on it. It’s not Bog-ey. He signed with an ie. And that’s good enough for me.” “A woman isn’t complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?” “Find me a man who’s interesting enough to have dinner with and I’ll be happy.” “They’re guys who want to screw around all the time, which interests me not at all. God knows we’ve done that, been there, and we don’t want to do that any more.” “Stardom isn’t a profession; it’s an accident.” “A man’s illness is his private territory and, no matter how much he loves you and how close you are, you stay an outsider. You are healthy.” “I am essentially a loner.” “I am not a has-been. I am a will-be.” “I don’t sit around thinking that I’d like to have another husband; only another man would make me think that way.” “I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.” “I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie. That was the beginning of The Look.” “I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.” “I’m not a sedentary person. I’ve always been active.” “In Hollywood, an equitable divorce settlement means each party getting fifty percent of publicity.” “You can’t start worrying about what’s going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what’s happening now.” |
