Anne Meara’s 5 most popular quotes
- I love documentaries and the computer. I am a little addicted to the computer, and that relaxes me. I find information, I shop, and I look up people I worked with to find out if they’re dead or alive.
- Families interest me – I’m part of one; most of us come from one. And I’m curious about the choices made in life, how they affect things, and how those choices happen.
- My mother loved movies, and I loved movies like she loved movies. So I wanted to do that. I’d send away for movie magazines – the old thing of everybody wanting to be a star or whatever.
- One time I laughed so hard, I just had to go and change my pantyhose. I lost it. Lost it. At least it wasn’t onstage.
- I started to respect older actors when I was young and then contemporary actors later on. Then I learned respect for comedy. When I was first doing theatre, I thought of it as just a means to become Sarah Bernhardt or someone like that. But acting with young people has been a great learning experience.
