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

I never found anyone who could look after me as well as I could look after myself.

The terrifying thing in my life is that I am just an actress. And I have to keep pushing it and getting approval, approval, approval or I don’t think I’m worth two cents. And I am starting to get over it, thank God. And I’m just sad because I don’t have many years left and I wish I had a longer space of time to think that Elaine Stritch is okay.

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'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'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.

If you tell the truth all day long, you will end up in jail.
