More quotes by 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
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
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
It gets tiring being a smartass.
Elaine Stritch
I was so happy I didn't have to work that night. That was the truth, because show business is about the hardest profession in the world.
Elaine Stritch
Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
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
I love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
Elaine Stritch
I get sick of saying how hard everything is. It's hard to get up in the morning. Everything's hard. Everything takes effort.
Elaine Stritch
You cannot tell an audience a lie. They know it before you do before it's out of your mouth, they know it's a lie.
Elaine Stritch
I compare Stephen Sondheim with humor, because humor is unanalyzable. You can't analyze humor. You just have to get through it.
Elaine Stritch
All of the writing on '30 Rock' is a joy to go into. It's pretty hot stuff.
Elaine Stritch
I have no intention of retiring. Even my blood sugar is better when I'm working.
Elaine Stritch
I don't dislike the way I look. I think I look fine. I think I look extraordinary for 88. And I've got energy. Out of my way.
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
Audiences are not strangers to me. They're the best friends I've got in my life.
Elaine Stritch
I am not influenced by other human beings. But I am inspired.
Elaine Stritch
Woody Allen is a better actor than anybody from the Actors Studio, and he can be anybody he says he is.
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 love holidays in New York. I love `em. I want to celebrate something all the time and New York has holidays for every day of the week, practically. I like holidays in New York City.
