After all, in private, we're all misfits
Lily Tomlin
Sexual freedom and liberation has to be of your own making. I'm stunned when I hear about friends' children, ten or twelve years old giving blow jobs. I just don't like the girls being used or exploited in that way. It's just indiscriminate sexual relating. It's just the isolated things.

I'm not a religious person. I don't have any desire. To me it's imitative of a conventional culture. I'm all for it for anybody. I totally have a free and open feeling about how other humans want to live their lives. It's just not something that has any real significance for me.
Lily Tomlin
Did you know, in the entire universe, we are the only intelligent life forms thought to have a Miss Universe contest?
Lily Tomlin
We are people with lives, not consumers with lifestyles.
Lily Tomlin
If you have a dog or a cat, you know how developed they can be. How sensitive, how aware. They suffer. We all do.
Lily Tomlin
Growing up in Michigan was fine...until I realized where I was.
Lily Tomlin
I think life is perverse. It can be beautiful, but it won't.
Lily Tomlin
There's so much plastic in this culture that vinyl leopard skin is becoming an endangered synthetic.
