Lily Tomlin Quotes

I wanted to be a stage actress. I wanted to be a New York actress and have a community with other actors. I didn’t want to get famous; I always thought getting famous was a drag on you Picture Quote #1

I never thought of myself as any kind of a film star, as many films as I’ve made - and I’ve made some really fun movies with good people.

Don’t be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed Picture Quote #1
