More quotes by Elaine Stritch
As a diabetic, I'm a walking picnic. I have to eat measured amounts of food at certain times.
Elaine Stritch
I want to settle down this last time. I say last, because I don't think I'm in any condition to live a long time from now. The bell's gonna ring pretty soon.

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.

Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
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
Audiences are not strangers to me. They're the best friends I've got in my life.
Elaine Stritch
This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.
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
There's something exciting about being afraid.
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.
Elaine Stritch
Fear is the base of what everybody does wrong in their lives.
Elaine Stritch
Everybody's got a sack of rocks.

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.
