More quotes by Elaine Stritch

Elaine Stritch
All you have to do is say, 'I'm going home,' and you're the most popular girl at the party.
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
