More quotes by Lily Tomlin
We are people with lives, not consumers with lifestyles.
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
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
Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain.
Lily Tomlin
The start to a better world is the belief that it is possible.
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
Does your mind feel more and more like teflon? Nothing sticks to it?
Lily Tomlin
If you can't be direct, why be?
Lily Tomlin

Lily Tomlin
If I had known what it would be like to have it all - I might have been willing to settle for less.
Lily Tomlin
Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.
Lily Tomlin
When I've had a meltdown, people will say to me, Well, you failed to keep your sense of humor.
Lily Tomlin
I try to be cynical, but it's so hard to keep up.
Lily Tomlin
I worry about kids today - because of the sexual revolution, they're going to grow up and never know what dirty means.
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
You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting, funny to say about what's current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.
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
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
If trying harder doesn't work, try softer.
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.
