More quotes by 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
What I appreciate is acknowledging to the audience that I think they have brains.
Lily Tomlin
My politics are just inclined to be empathetic and humanistic. I grew up with so many different kinds of people with different politics, different religion, no religion, no politics, education, no education, and I was infatuated with all of them.
Lily Tomlin
If trying harder doesn't work, try softer.
Lily Tomlin
But there are too many people that make so much money at the cost of lives of other humans and for no reason but to make the money.
Lily Tomlin
I think life is perverse. It can be beautiful, but it won't.
Lily Tomlin
Being a New Yorker is never having to say you are sorry.

If you have a dog or a cat, you know how developed they can be. How sensitive, how aware. They suffer. We all do.
