MADELINE KAHN QUOTES
"I would liked to be remembered for being liked. I always try to put my best foot forward, because I am glad to meet you, no matter who you are."
"Comedy is created when someone is trying very earnestly to do what he feels is the right thing to do at the moment."
"Laughter is a strange response. I mean, what is it? It's a spasm of some kind! Is that always joy? It's very often discomfort. It's some sort of explosive reaction."
