More quotes by Lily Tomlin
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
Lily Tomlin
The start to a better world is the belief that it is possible.
Lily Tomlin
Nobody is here without a reason. I always had a different sensibility. I like a huge range of comedy - from broad and farcical, the most sensitive, the most understated - but I always wanted my comedy to be more embracing of the species rather than debasing of it.

Lily Tomlin
I mean yes to act out something or take chances in the performance is one thing. But in terms of a camera, whatever's captured is captured so that's a little more daunting.
Lily Tomlin
I try to be cynical, but it's so hard to keep up.
Lily Tomlin
I think life is perverse. It can be beautiful, but it won't.
Lily Tomlin
The whole idea of being in captivity in such limited space, especially in a zoo, causes elephants to suffer. They develop all kinds of foot diseases. They die. They get cysts. Not only is it painful, it eventually kills them.
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
For fast-acting relief try slowing down.
Lily Tomlin
If life is so meaningless, then why are we always bringing it up?
Lily Tomlin
