Fanny Brice

“Men always fall for frigid women because they put on the best show.”

“Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience.”

“Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?”

“I never liked the men I loved and never loved the men I liked.”

“Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown.”

“Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.”

“Wrong is for other people.”

“Affectation is a very good word when someone does not wish to confess to what he would none the less like to believe of himself.”
