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.

More quotes by Elaine Stritch
I have no intention of retiring. Even my blood sugar is better when I'm working.
Elaine Stritch
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.
Elaine Stritch
I am not influenced by other human beings. But I am inspired.
Elaine Stritch
There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.
Elaine Stritch
I like to keep active. I've got too much energy not to.
Elaine Stritch
I wouldn't have a nose job. I like my nose fine.
Elaine Stritch
I love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
Elaine Stritch
It's a pain in the ass, show business. And the only time that I really enjoy it is when I'm in front of an audience and they're reacting to 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
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
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
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
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 compare Stephen Sondheim with humor, because humor is unanalyzable. You can't analyze humor. You just have to get through it.
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 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
Bette Davis taught Hollywood to follow an actress instead of the actress following the camera, and she's probably the best movie actress there's ever been.
Elaine Stritch
All of the writing on '30 Rock' is a joy to go into. It's pretty hot stuff.
Elaine Stritch
