More quotes by Elaine Stritch
There's something exciting about being afraid.
Elaine Stritch
Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
Elaine Stritch
I tell the truth, and it has gotten me into a lot of trouble. My dad used to say to me, 'If you tell the truth all day long, you will end up in jail.'
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 love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
Elaine Stritch
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.
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.
Elaine Stritch
Two drinks a day. Two drinks a day. TWO DRINKS A DAY! It doesn't work! Not when you want eleven, and not when you start shopping for wine glasses in the vase department at Bloomingdales.
Elaine Stritch
For my money, insecurity, depression, etc, can be healed by way of El Morocco, sad songs at 4am, and the pop of a champagne cork
Elaine Stritch
It gets tiring being a smartass.
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
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 wouldn't have a nose job. I like my nose fine.
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 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
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 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
There's nothing attractive about doing a documentary. Nothing. It's hard, hard work, and I find having all the attention of the day on me a very unattractive proposition.
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
There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.
