If I'm a legend, I'm dead. Do you want me to be dead? Legends
are of the past.

I have no respect for celebrities, and I object to being called
one, so don't try it! I'm an actress, not a celebrity.

I just don't understand not working. I'm such a ham. I love
hiding behind other characters. I find that it gives me freedom.

I hope Bogie knew how much I loved him, how much he meant
to me, how I highly valued him. I've had another life since
then, but he was my first love, and you never forget your first
love.

It feels better having an escort. I don't have many escorts
in my life. But I don't like to enter rooms by myself. Literally.
So I understand from that point of view why that exists. It's

kind of confide in.
Lauren Bacall
On 2007 movie 'The Walker', which is about
a society escort who squires rich Washington wives around town. |

You have to have a way to cope, to get through the rest of

friendships dissolve for no reason… all kinds of weird
things can happen in life and you better learn how to deal with
it. And the way to deal with it is to laugh at yourself.

It's all about money nowadays. There's no accent on quality,
on standards, and they don't write parts for women anymore.
When I first went into pictures, women absolutely ran the show.
Bette Davis practically owned Warner Brothers. She was my favourite.
Every time she's on television, I love to watch her work.

They're all too self-involved, y'know? And they're so unaware
of what goes on anywhere else.
