Estelle Getty quotes about
I think they look upon me as an old child, because I'm so little.
The only time you'll see me as a Democrat is when I play Sophia. In the real world I'm a Republican from head to toe.
Too many of you, my friends, are dying. Now it's time for me to do my part and help you.
Being tiny has been difficult for me in a business that regarded physicality as the most important part of your life.
Let me tell you girls the three most important things I learned about life: Number one: Hold fast to your friends; number two: There's no such thing as security; and number three: Don't go see 'Ishtar.'
Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles.
People assume that I'm wiser than I am because I'm somewhat successful. Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles. If you're dumb when you're young, you're going to be dumb when you're old.
If love means never having to say you're sorry, then marriage means always having to say everything twice.
You can do anything you want to do.
