I don't have to go to a doctor and have my face changed. It terrifies me that women do that.

I tell the truth, and it has gotten me into a lot of trouble. My dad used to say to me, 'If you tell the truth all day long, you will end up in jail.'

Fear is the base of what everybody does wrong in their lives.

And why not do something new every day of your life? Change! Change!

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 don't wear a wig. I'd feel terrible onstage with a wig. I hate to be so 'Actors Studio'-ish, but I like to feel it's me out there.

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