The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Madeline Kahn

  • If a scene isn’t well written they’ll drop your neckline to fill the void.
  • Comedy is an ability to observe and see what’s funny in a situation and be able to forget yourself enough to do it.
  • Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage!
  • Its acceptable for men to act the fool. When women try, theyre considered aggressive and opinionated.
  • I don’t like to be my own audience, I find that being my own audience, being in the audience, makes me self-conscious, basically. So I tune in sometimes, with the sound off, to check it out and I back up to it. In the future I will look at it when some time has passed.
  • Me, as myself, I don’t think I’m particularly funny. But I’ve noticed that people in my life always have found me amusing. Which, when I was little, really bothered me.
  • Comedy is created when someone is trying very earnestly to do what he feels is the right thing to do at that moment.
  • I can’t even really tell a joke. I find being funny very hard work. I am always asked about it and I feel guilty saying that, but it’s the truth. I love my work but it ain’t easy.
  • What’s wrong with musicals now is all the gifted men who’ve died of AIDS-who would otherwise be here today creating great theater.
  • My mother was a Bohemian – in the good sense of the word. A searcher. And she investigated various religions.
