Cloris Leachman's quotes
- If you brush your teeth, you don't want to eat something right after because your mouth feels so fresh. So brushing your teeth actually prevents you from eating until later.
- When something is truly funny, it's funny all the time.
- The reason I am a good actress, I think, is because the times when I didn't have a good part and you think, "What the hell do you do with it?" You have to figure something out.
- My son became my manager, and he said to me, "Mom, if you could do anything you wanted to do, what would it be?" And out of my mouth immediately came, Dancing with the Stars (2005).
- I don't think "comedy" or "serious". I always brought seriousness to comedy and comedic things to serious roles.
- I know that there's no God. I am very convinced of that -- and very happy about it.
- I live a very leisurely life. When I do work, it's not work, it's great fun, and exciting and fresh. New, wonderful talented people. It's great pleasure and great fun.
- Kissing is the most wonderful, intimate, sexy thing in the world. Much more than... what's it called... fornicating!
