Tallulah Bankhead

There is less in this than meets the eye.

The less I behave like Whistler's mother the night before, the more I look like her the morning after.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

I'm as pure as the driven slush.

If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience.

I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, 'I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.'

It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time.
