Fanny Brice

“Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't be a bore, that you must be witty, that you must have something to say.”

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

“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'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.”

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

“With my good looks and my figure, I would have had a different career. I might have been a Ziegfeld girl.”

“If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.”

“My sun rises and sets with him.”

“I'm a bad girl. I've always been a bad girl. I'm not a clown.”

“For a comic, the best thing is to have a girlfriend who is a good laugher.”
