Fans recognize me all over the place. But the second you need anything, they're never around! They're like the police!
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I think taking care of yourself, health-wise, in every way, is a 100 percent winner.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
There were a lot of lyrics that I sang but didn't understand. But I had this facade in performance of looking like I wrote the book.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I think I have more humour in me than anger. But those two things are great bed-fellows, performance-wise.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
If I see someone saying the rosary in the wings, I know they've got talent.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I smoked, I drank, I did all the kicking my heels up type things, but I went to Mass on Sunday.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I loved being on Broadway, but performing has become exhausting, and I just don't want to live in New York anymore. I'm just sick of the competition in New York, the feeling that I always have to rehearse to keep up my performance. I don't feel like rehearsing, even though it should be my favorite thing in the world to do.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I love New York. I went to New York to become an actress, and I did it. And I won all the awards known to man. And I'm happy. And I came home. I came, I saw, I conquered. And it feels great.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
When the hospital sends for me, when the ambulance comes and I ease my way out of the world, I'd rather be in Detroit, Michigan, than Lenox Hill.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I like glasses so I can go out without my makeup. Just grab your coat and get your hat and go.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
My biggest dream was to get out of Michigan - to discover life beyond the Sacred Heart Convent.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I don't think I'm gonna die tomorrow or even two weeks from now, or even ever. I just don't know - who the hell knows what's gonna happen to them? Nobody! Isn't that comforting? Nobody has a clue. I like that we don't know. And I like that it's somebody else's decision, not mine.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
There's something about it that makes sense, Lent. You give something up, and everything's more joyful.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I mention I'm going home, and I'm a star immediately! This used to happen with my boyfriends - as soon as I'd say, 'I gotta go home now,' they fell in love.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
There are a lot of things I do that I don't want to, but I have to. It's truly an emotional need for me to perform.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
Honestly, this is a big thing to say, but I don't think I've ever been bored. If I even get an inkling of it, I split.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
You can't be funny unless you're tragic, and you can't be tragic unless you're funny.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
These performers that go on about their technique and craft - oh, puleeze! How boring! I don't know what 'technique' means. But I do know what experience is.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
Let me tell you about those convents. All that crap about extending the pinkie finger while sipping tea is a myth. Convent schools are breeding grounds for great broads and occasionally one-of-the-boys. Convent schools teach you to play against everything, which is what I'm still doing.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I could have made a lot of money doing 'Golden Girls,' and I would have been good. But the image of it! And for me to work with Betty White every day would be like taking cyanide.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I'm a good acting partner for me... when I don't have anyone else, I do really well!
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
The people in New York - their humor is on a level that goes, uh, very deep, you know?
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I love Birmingham, Michigan. It's lovely - you know, it's very similar to the Hamptons.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I can't explain chemistry. I really can't. I haven't got a clue what it's all about. It just happens. It's like falling in love. You can't explain why you fall in love or explain why it's this particular person.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
Audiences are not strangers to me. They're the best friends I've got in my life.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
When I'm playing comedy, it is such a crap shoot of what will work and what won't.
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
Certain type of actresses get younger instead of older. I always say, 'Only ingenues age.'
Quote by -Elaine Stritch
I have not had any of that surgical stuff. I am too curious to find out exactly how I progress every day of my life naturally. That is what fascinates me.
