Lauren Bacall Quotes

I have made mistakes in the past and been in movies that really weren’t good, and that I needed the money at the time, or something -- and the money wasn’t even that great. But I needed it, and... they come back on television, those movies... to haunt you. And it’s a nightmare! Picture Quote #1

How many women do we know who were continually kissed by Clark Gable, William Powell, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy and Fredric March? Only one: Myrna Loy Picture Quote #1

After the age of 30 in the movie profession, you’re pretty well over as far as the casting people are concerned Picture Quote #1

Life is amazing, life is odd. Life is not what you expected it to be. Things happen... Growing up takes longer than you think Picture Quote #1

My mother was the greatest example to me of anyone I’ve ever known. She didn’t have an easy life. I adored her. She worked hard all her life, and she was the one who set my values. She was quite an amazing woman, although she wasn’t tough at all Picture Quote #1

You learn to rise above a lot of bad things that happen in your life. And you have to keep going Picture Quote #1

I don’t look in the mirror; don’t like what I see; never have. I am not my idea of a beauty. Never was. This is not false modesty. I’ve just never been enamoured of my face, which of course is magnified umpteen times on screen Picture Quote #1

I always thought I had crooked eyebrows and crooked teeth. That’s why I never understood why people called me a beauty Picture Quote #1

I loved reading Grimm’s fairy tales and Hans Christian Andersen, and I loved to dream about other worlds and other lives.

I love being Jewish; I have no problem with it at all. But it did become like a scar, with all these people saying you don’t look it Picture Quote #1

I’d love to play a femme fatale in a film noir. I’m thinking of one of those roles that Lauren Bacall or Bette Davis might have played. What I wouldn’t like is to suddenly find myself being cast, as many senior actresses seem to be, as the abbess in a convent Picture Quote #1

A famous love story is hard to maintain when you both live in the spotlight Picture Quote #1

I studied dancing for 13 years. And loved to dance. Always wanted to dance with Fred Astaire Picture Quote #1
