“I was the mother and I did my job being the mother. Ralph was the  one who was breadwinner and he would come home and be home every night and be the Daddy. The weekends we were playing with the children and going places with them.

“And in the most surprising fact of my life. That at one point I thought I was incapable of feeling and unworthy of achieving I am still in love with my wife.

Lauren Bacall on Being Mrs. Bogart

I ask if she felt that her acting career was hurt by being Bogart’s wife. “Oh, yes, because he wanted a wife. He didn’t want an actress,” she says. “He’d been married to three actresses [Helen Menken and Mary Philips, before Methot], and from the beginning he said to me, ‘I love you, and if you want a career, I’ll do everything I can to help you, but I won’t marry you.’ He wanted a wife that would go with him and be there, and he was dead right. And that’s what I wanted, and that’s why I wanted children. He had never had a child. So I was Miss Pushy in that way. But I was happy being his wife. I loved it. Because I really loved him.” – Vanity Fair, March 2011
