More quotes by Lily Tomlin
After all, in private, we're all misfits
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
You can't expect insights, even the big ones, to make you suddenly understand everything. But I figure: Hey it's a step in the right direction if they leave you confused in a deeper way.
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.
Lily Tomlin
What I appreciate is acknowledging to the audience that I think they have brains.
Lily Tomlin
If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?
Lily Tomlin
Creating characters is just another way to express a type and put that type to use.
Lily Tomlin
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
For fast-acting relief try slowing down.
Lily Tomlin
I wonder what it would be like if we all became what we wanted to be when we grew up? I mean, imagine a world filled with nothing but firemen, cowboys, nurses and ballerinas.
Lily Tomlin
When I've had a meltdown, people will say to me, Well, you failed to keep your sense of humor.
Lily Tomlin
You are what you think ... geez, that's frightening.
Lily Tomlin
I have always felt that humor was a wonderful vehicle to let us become connected with each other and ourselves… I try to portray the similarities and polarities in men and women, so that we can acknowledge and embrace our collective consciousness.
Lily Tomlin
If you read a lot of books you are considered well read. But if you watch a lot of TV, you're not considered well viewed.
Lily Tomlin
If life is so meaningless, then why are we always bringing it up?
Lily Tomlin
There's nothing sadder than getting to the end of your life and saying, 'I didn't do it right'.
Lily Tomlin
We are people with lives, not consumers with lifestyles.
Lily Tomlin
Lady, I do not make up things. That is lies. Lies are not true. But the truth could be made up if yo know how. And that's the truth.
Lily Tomlin
If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?
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
