Fanny Brice

Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?

— Fanny Brice

Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience.

— Fanny Brice

Men always fall for frigid women because they put on the best show.

— Fanny Brice

Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown, and they only want you to make them laugh.
