  • If you’re not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
  • You had to learn at a certain age what sarcasm is, you know?
  • Once I commit to something, I complete it. If I say ‘no,’ I mean ‘no.’ I just have to learn how to say ‘no’ more.
  • I would much rather feel comfortable and feel beautiful, than to feel uncomfortable, but look fantastic.
  • Look at YouTube, how many talented people there are. It’s a whole new world of how to express yourself. I don’t know how to work that world, but take advantage of it.
  • I don’t know one lens from another. That’s not my job. It’s the cinematographer’s job. But I can talk to people.
  • It’s better for me to go up against someone’s passion with my passion and then clarifying something that he wrote. Then I know how to work around certain things.
  • I live in L.A., so I go to basketball games. But I love baseball.
  • I don’t mind if somebody texts me but I’m not a big texter, the things are too small. I don’t mind if they text, ‘7 o’clock,’ that’s fine, that’s logistics but, ‘What’s up?’ Get real! Pick up a phone!
  • I tell stories so only the independents do that and they don’t pay you that much. I’d rather do TV or an HBO movie.

Penny Marshall was an American actress, director, and producer, born on October 15, 1943, in The Bronx, New York City.
