More quotes by Elaine Stritch
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.
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 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.

Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
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
If somebody doesn't have any talent, get off the stage! You're wasting my time.
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
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
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
This is a time in my life where I'm gonna behave like an elegant human being. Or not.
Elaine Stritch
There's something exciting about being afraid.
Elaine Stritch
There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.
Elaine Stritch
I love reviews. Anybody who tells you they don't read reviews is a liar.
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
As a diabetic, I'm a walking picnic. I have to eat measured amounts of food at certain times.
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
I wouldn't have a nose job. I like my nose fine.
