Tallulah Bankhead
» Excess » “Let’s not quibble! 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.””
» Intelligence and Intellectuals » “I’ve been called many things, but never an intellectual.”
» Mistakes » “If I had my life to live again. I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.”
» Mistakes » “I’d rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.”
» Morality » “I’m as pure as the driven slush.”
» Neurosis » “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.”
» Theater » “It’s one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work — the night watchman.”
» Uniqueness » “Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.”
