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
All of the writing on '30 Rock' is a joy to go into. It's pretty hot stuff.
Elaine Stritch
This is a time in my life where I'm gonna behave like an elegant human being. Or not.
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 age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.
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
