Penny Marshall's Quotes

  • I have a strange combination of fearlessness and massive insecurity.
  • You had to learn at a certain age what sarcasm is, you know?
  • If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
  • My brother and sister were much older. They were planned. I was not planned for. I was called the mistake, amongst other things.
  • 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!
