More quotes by Elaine Stritch
All of the writing on '30 Rock' is a joy to go into. It's pretty hot stuff.
Elaine Stritch

Elaine Stritch

Elaine Stritch

Elaine Stritch
There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.
Elaine Stritch
I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.
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
Woody Allen is a better actor than anybody from the Actors Studio, and he can be anybody he says he is.
Elaine Stritch
I want to settle down this last time. I say last, because I don't think I'm in any condition to live a long time from now. The bell's gonna ring pretty soon.
Elaine Stritch
I never found anyone who could look after me as well as I could look after myself.
Elaine Stritch
