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.

Elaine Stritch
Image
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.

All you have to do is say, 'I'm going home,' and you're the most popular girl at the party.
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
Image
This is a time in my life where I'm gonna behave like an elegant human being. Or not.

Image
I don't want to see a movie twice. I don't want to do anything twice.

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.
