Katharine Hepburn: Never Complain
Interview with Katharine Hepburn
Conducted by James Grissom
New York City
1990
It
takes too much energy to feel sorry for yourself; to regret things. I like
movement. So does the earth; so does God; so do all the smart people. I want to
be on good terms with the earth and God and the smart people, so I keep moving
and changing. Whatever you don't like about the life you're living, you can
change. And you should. And if you don't want to change things--if you haven't
the guts to change things--then get comfortable with things as they are, and
move in your own way. But don't complain. There is no reason, ever, to
complain. You can stand up for something or someone, and you can demand things
be made right for someone or something, but you can never complain. The soul
dies when you complain.
