The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner. - Tallulah Bankhead

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

It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work — the night watchman.

I don’t know what I want. Nobody knows — or if they do, they don’t know for long. I mean, you don’t want the same thing long enough for it to be What You Want From Life in capital letters. Well, maybe some people do. Maybe there's a few simple folks — or maybe a few million, I don't know — who fix their hearts, and their minds, and their everlasting souls on a thing, and keep on all their lives hoping for it. Living for it. Wanting It From Life. But these are the people who never get it.
