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 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
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 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
Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
Elaine Stritch
I love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
Elaine Stritch
All you have to do is say, 'I'm going home,' and you're the most popular girl at the party.
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
All of the writing on '30 Rock' is a joy to go into. It's pretty hot stuff.
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 felt that I committed myself too much. I promised too much. But that way it's exciting.
Elaine Stritch
As a diabetic, I'm a walking picnic. I have to eat measured amounts of food at certain times.
Elaine Stritch
There's something exciting about being afraid.
Elaine Stritch
I never found anyone who could look after me as well as I could look after myself.
Elaine Stritch
If somebody doesn't have any talent, get off the stage! You're wasting my time.
Elaine Stritch
Fear is the base of what everybody does wrong in their lives.
Elaine Stritch
I don't want to see a movie twice. I don't want to do anything twice.
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
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
There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.
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
