More quotes by Lorna Luft
I understand wanting to do your craft. I understand wanting to have a passion for your art and for your ability to be an actor, to be a singer, to be a dancer - that I understand. Wanting to be famous - I don't get that. But that's where we're living right now.

A gay man has no business leading on a heterosexual woman.
Lorna Luft
There's so much, I guess I want to say, nonsense about show business now. Because of reality television. I don't get this, because I was never raised to get this, but I don't understand wanting to be famous. Maybe it's because I was born famous, but I don't get it.
Lorna Luft
A career is all very well, but no one lives by work alone.
Lorna Luft
I think that when you're in your twenties you think about your future, when you're in your thirties you're raising kids and you think about their future, but when you get to a time when you are diagnosed with any kind of life altering illness, what did you take away from it? And what I took away from it was how to live in the now.
Lorna Luft
I think every show I do, whether I am doing eight shows a week of a Broadway show... I think, that's a show I'll never get back... I go home at night and I think to myself, that was my favorite.
Lorna Luft
I used drugs as a social activity a way to have fun with friends.
Lorna Luft
The sicker mother got, the stranger the people surrounding her became. I called them The Garland Freaks.

In June 1968, five days before my mother's forty -sixth birthday, the world fell apart again. Sirhan Sirhan shot Bobby Kennedy, who died the next day. Why were people shooting all the Kennedys? Had the country gone mad?
