More quotes by 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 don't want to see a movie twice. I don't want to do anything twice.
Elaine Stritch
Onstage, nothing is as important as truth, nothing. As soon as you lie, they know it.
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
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 love reviews. Anybody who tells you they don't read reviews is a liar.
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
Fear is the base of what everybody does wrong in their lives.
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
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 never found anyone who could look after me as well as I could look after myself.
