More quotes by Elaine Stritch
It's a pain in the ass, show business. And the only time that I really enjoy it is when I'm in front of an audience and they're reacting to me.
Elaine Stritch
Bette Davis taught Hollywood to follow an actress instead of the actress following the camera, and she's probably the best movie actress there's ever been.
Elaine Stritch
If somebody doesn't have any talent, get off the stage! You're wasting my time.
Elaine Stritch
I like to keep active. I've got too much energy not to.
Elaine Stritch
I don't know what to do with Warren Beatty. All I know is that he wasn't attracted to me. That's all right.
Elaine Stritch
I don't think I'm gonna die tomorrow or even two weeks from now, or even ever. I just don't know - who the hell knows what's gonna happen to them? Nobody! Isn't that comforting? Nobody has a clue. I like that we don't know. And I like that it's somebody else's decision, not mine.
Elaine Stritch
I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.
Elaine Stritch
This is a time in my life where I'm gonna behave like an elegant human being. Or not.
Elaine Stritch
The terrifying thing in my life is that I am just an actress. And I have to keep pushing it and getting approval, approval, approval or I don’t think I’m worth two cents. And I am starting to get over it, thank God. And I’m just sad because I don’t have many years left and I wish I had a longer space of time to think that Elaine Stritch is okay.
Elaine Stritch
It gets tiring being a smartass.
Elaine Stritch
I find it easier to abstain than do a little bit of anything. I'm not a 'little bit' kind of dame. I want it all, whatever I do.
Elaine Stritch
As a diabetic, I'm a walking picnic. I have to eat measured amounts of food at certain times.
Elaine Stritch
I love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
Elaine Stritch
I have not had any of that surgical stuff. I am too curious to find out exactly how I progress every day of my life naturally. That is what fascinates me.
Elaine Stritch
There's something exciting about being afraid.
Elaine Stritch
Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
Elaine Stritch
I never found anyone who could look after me as well as I could look after myself.
Elaine Stritch
People will always be around to tell you you're no good or you're wrong or unwise to keep doing what you want to do. They're wrong. They're always wrong. Keep going.
Elaine Stritch
For me, going to London is like coming home. In fact, I've often entertained the idea of ending my days there.
Elaine Stritch
I certainly was not the romantic lead. I couldn't be that, because I was not that good looking. And that is something about Hollywood that I do not like at all. Why can't a woman who is just normally good looking fall in love? I mean, everybody in the movies is so good looking.
