Time levels. If you survive long enough, you're revered - rather like an old building. I can remember walking as a child. It was not customary to say you were fatigued. It was customary to complete the goal of the expedition. 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'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for each other. I'm what is known as gradually disintegrating. I don't fear the next world, or anything. I don't fear hell, and I don't look forward to heaven. Who is Katharine Hepburn? It took me a long time to create that creature. I always wanted to be a movie actress. I thought it was very romantic. And it was. That's like saying I prefer driving an old car with a flat tire.
I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep going. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, I've got it. I'll wear it to your funeral. Although I'm afraid he may be a limited person. He knew he was a natural aristocrat -- better than anybody. A bit cuckoo, but sweet and terribly funny. She looks like a Monet model. And she's so -- so defenseless. I like defenseless people. They're the best. If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea.
Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but "what are you going to do now? Most people, I figure, have a reservoir that you walk into town with your little box of goodies, you know. And this is me, and this is what I have to offer. And what really interests you? Well, sometimes you're bloody sick of what you're doing.
And you haven't got the brains to stop. You know. And you could change, change. Except that, oh, I'm so shy, or oh, my private life, or oh, are they going to find out how boring I am? You know? Because it certainly is a method of expression, which has to be accepted as these things come along. On personal power: As one goes through life one learns that if you don't paddle your own canoe, you don't move. On art: I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or they're because they're lucky.
If they have time to think. Naturally I'm adorable in all of them. When I tested for the movies, it was immediately a warm experience. Exciting but not scary. Why this is I do not know. I just find this medium sympathetic, friendly. It must be that there is no audience, and no critics, in the immediate situation.
And the camera never talks back to you. It was fun. If you can live for other people away from yourself you will be happy and if you live for yourself then you will not be happy and you won't be able to sleep or do anything else. And what do you know.
They'll miss me like an old monument. Like the Flatiron Building. She was so terrifyingly funny I truly had a difficult time doing scenes with her. Honestly, I couldn't look at her, she was so funny. I couldn't be that way and carry on a movie career. He gave her class. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for people.
We must reform. And I don't know how we're going to reform. We're sitting looking at a lot of filth. And I'm disgusted with the movies. Because they're kidding themselves into saying its a sort of intellectual past time. Its 42nd street filth. Filth being sold for too much.
And now its respectable to go and see them. And the critics I think have lost their minds. I never played with a sort of fancy accent of any kind. So, was I an actor? I don't know. Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to earn a living. Positive reviews and a run of three months came with an offer from Hollywood to appear in A Bill of Divorcement , which co-starred John Barrymore. During the same period, she returned to the Broadway stage, most notably for The Philadelphia Story , in which she starred in the same role she later played in the movie.
On the set of Woman of the Year in late , Hepburn met and fell in love with co-star Spencer Tracy. Hepburn was 34 and then divorced. Tracy, 41, was one of the giants of the screen and unhappily married. That success came despite the fact that Tracy suffered from alcoholism and depression severe enough that it required hospitalization on at least one occasion.
Through her years with Tracy and beyond, Hepburn continued to work in, and earn acclaim for, movie and theater roles. She also continued to live much of the time in her beloved Connecticut home, even after a hurricane destroyed a significant portion of her property. Jade Tan. Self uncredited. Amanda Bonner.
