Tallulah bankhead

I have been absolutely hag-ridden with ambition. If I could wish to have anything in the world it would be to be free of ambition.

I did what I could to inflate the rumor I was on my way to stardom. What I was on my way to, by any mathematical standards known to man, was oblivion, by way of obscurity.

Nobody can be exactly me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.

There is less in this than meets the eye.

I'm as pure as the driven slush.

I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.

Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.

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

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

Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time.
