- (On Larry King on CNN May 6th, 2005) Lauren Bacall: I was Betty Bacall always. And Lauren was Howard Hawks... he felt that Lauren Bacall was better sounding than Betty Bacall. He had a vision of his own. He was a Svengali. He wanted to mold me. He wanted to control me. And he did until Mr. Bogart got involved.

- Lauren: (after revealing Nicole Kidman looked unhappy while they filmed Dogville together) Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some goddamn thing - one of his more ridiculous moves. Tom Cruise is a maniac. I can't understand the way he conducts his life.

- Lauren: The purity of Jewish upbringing is the restrictions that one carries through life being a "nice Jewish girl" -- what a burden!
