More quotes by 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
I don't think I'm gonna die tomorrow or even two weeks from now, or even ever. I just don't know - who the hell knows what's gonna happen to them? Nobody! Isn't that comforting? Nobody has a clue. I like that we don't know. And I like that it's somebody else's decision, not mine.
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
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
Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
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 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
There's something exciting about being afraid.
Elaine Stritch
Fear is the base of what everybody does wrong in their lives.
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
Onstage, nothing is as important as truth, nothing. As soon as you lie, they know it.
Elaine Stritch
Tony Bennett said to me, Wow, your talent is amazing. Maybe he's a bore, maybe he's a jerk, but when he said that to me, I didn't need anything more than that.
Elaine Stritch
This is a time in my life where I'm gonna behave like an elegant human being. Or not.
Elaine Stritch
I love reviews. Anybody who tells you they don't read reviews is a liar.
Elaine Stritch
I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.
Elaine Stritch
I love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
Elaine Stritch
I've changed a lot, too! I'm different, too. I have far more in some ways to offer and far less in other ways to offer. That's life. And, you know, life goes on!
Elaine Stritch
I don't want to see a movie twice. I don't want to do anything twice.
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
As a diabetic, I'm a walking picnic. I have to eat measured amounts of food at certain times.
