Quote by Katharine Hepburn

When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.

When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actres

Summary

It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself b

It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes. When I brood over these marvelous pleasures I have enjoyed, I would be tempted to offer God a prayer of thanks if I knew he could hear me. Praised may he be for not creating me a cotton merchant, a vaudevillian, or a wit.
