Elaine Stritch
It's very disconcerting to start out and to say, I'm going to tell the truth, and then to realize it's that much trouble.

Elaine Stritch
New York is like a disco, but without the music
Elaine Stritch
I always say, 'If you can't give a reason for the banana peel being in the alley, then don't have the comic slide over it.' Do you understand what I mean? First explain how the banana peel got there quickly. And then there's a reason for all the comedy.
Elaine Stritch
If somebody doesn't have any talent, get off the stage! You're wasting my time.
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 like to keep active. I've got too much energy not to.
Elaine Stritch
