More quotes by Gilda Radner
Humor is just truth, only faster!
Gilda Radner
Comedy is very controlling - you are making people laugh.
Gilda Radner
It's such an act of optimism to get through a day and enjoy it and laugh and do all that without thinking about death. What spirit human beings have!
Gilda Radner
[Emily Litella line:] Never mind.
Gilda Radner
I've learned what I can control is whether I am going to live a day in fear and depression and panic, or whether I am going to attack the day and make it as good a day, as wonderful a day, as I can.
Gilda Radner
[Motherhood is] the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It's huge and scary-it's an act of infinite optimism.
Gilda Radner
It's always something
Gilda Radner
Cancer is probably the most unfunny thing in the world, but I'm a comedian, and even cancer couldn't stop me from seeing the humor in what I went through.
Gilda Radner
There are those who open their hearts to others...who never think twice about giving of themselves. They are the wonderful warmhearted people who make all the difference in our lives.
Gilda Radner
I can always be distracted by love, but eventually I get horny for my creativity.
Gilda Radner
What we put into every moment is all we have. You can drug yourself to death or you can smoke yourself to death or eat yourself to death, or you can do everything right and be healthy and then get hit by a car. Life is so great, such a neat thing, and yet all during it we have to face death, which can make you nuts and depressed.
Gilda Radner
I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships.
Gilda Radner
I think dogs are the most amazing creatures they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive.
Gilda Radner
Having cancer gave me membership in an elite club I'd rather not belong to.
Gilda Radner
Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a light bulb.
Gilda Radner
I think clothes should make you feel safe. I like clothes you want to go to sleep in. I sometimes stand in front of a mirror and change a million times because I know I really want to wear my nightgown.
Gilda Radner
Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end.
Gilda Radner
I would say that Lucy, 'I Love Lucy,' she was my idol.
Gilda Radner
I love being a woman. You can cry. You get to wear pants now. If you're on a boat and it's going to sink, you get to go on the rescue boat first. You get to wear cute clothes. It must be a great thing, or so many men wouldn't be wanting to do it.
Gilda Radner
You feel completely in control when you hear a wave of laughter coming back at you that you have caused.
Gilda Radner
