As a diabetic, I'm a walking picnic. I have to eat measured amounts of food at certain times.
disease diabetes
Diabetes is a lousy, lousy disease.
falling-in-love mean hollywood
I certainly was not the romantic lead. I couldn't be that, because I was not that good looking. And that is something about Hollywood that I do not like at all. Why can't a woman who is just normally good looking fall in love? I mean, everybody in the movies is so good looking.
nice white very-nice
Betty White is probably a very nice woman.
age actresses certain
Certain type of actresses get younger instead of older. I always say, 'Only ingenues age.'

For me, going to London is like coming home. In fact, I've often entertained the idea of ending my days there.

I wouldn't have a nose job. I like my nose fine.

I care about money, very much. I want it. I don't ever want to be without it. My mother once said about me, 'Elaine has to have money.'

I compare Stephen Sondheim with humor, because humor is unanalyzable. You can't analyze humor. You just have to get through it.

Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
drama ugly want
Drama drama drama. The public wants it, so let them get the whole ugly mess. Why not?
mean giving firsts
I always say, 'If you can't give a reason for the banana peel being in the alley, then don't have the comic slide over it.' Do you understand what I mean? First explain how the banana peel got there quickly. And then there's a reason for all the comedy.
looks found wells
I never found anyone who could look after me as well as I could look after myself.
people want always-wrong
People will always be around to tell you you're no good or you're wrong or unwise to keep doing what you want to do. They're wrong. They're always wrong. Keep going.
