I am not influenced by other human beings. But I am inspired.

I've changed a lot, too! I'm different, too. I have far more in some ways to offer and far less in other ways to offer. That's life. And, you know, life goes on!

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 know what to do with Warren Beatty. All I know is that he wasn't attracted to me. That's all right.

Drama drama drama. The public wants it, so let them get the whole ugly mess. Why not?

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.

I'm going to do less performing because I'm tired. It's hard to convince anybody that you're just going to take it easy.
