Cloris Leachman, who died this week at the age of 94, played a lot of quirky, hilarious women during her long career. She was pretty witty in person as well, and had a great philosophy on life.
Here are some of my favorite Cloris Leachman quotes.
“I make fun wherever I go. If I go to a restaurant by myself, rest assured, people will be talking about it. I always have a great deal of fun being with people. It’s part of the journey.”
”Why can’t we build orphanages next to homes for the elderly? If someone were sitting in a rocker, it wouldn’t be long before a kid will be in his lap.”
“I think husbands and wives should live in separate houses. If there’s enough money, the children should live in a third.”
"I don't stress at all. When other people say, 'I'm having a bad day,' I ask, 'How can you have a bad day for the entire 24 hours, or even 12 or eight hours?' Something bad might happen, but that can't make the entire day bad."
