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.

Two drinks a day. Two drinks a day. TWO DRINKS A DAY! It doesn't work! Not when you want eleven, and not when you start shopping for wine glasses in the vase department at Bloomingdales.

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

It's very disconcerting to start out and to say, "I'm going to tell the truth," and then to realize it's that much trouble.

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

I love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
