“Lacking ladylike poison, Lizzie (Borden) did what every over-civilized, understated Wasp is entirely capable of doing once we finally admit we're mad as hell and aren't going to take it any more: She went from Anglo to Saxon in a trice”
Florence King
“Whatever your fight, don't be ladylike”
Mother Jones
“The vengeful hag is played by Ingrid Bergman, which is like casting Eleanor Roosevelt as Lizzie Borden.”
Kenneth Tynan
“There is a double standard out there. Comedy is a male business; it's not ladylike what we're doing. But at the end of the day, if it's funny, it's funny, and funny tends to quiet the criticisms.”
Wanda Sykes
“Lizzie played really well and she's been playing amazing since she started. She keeps getting better.”
Erin Prediger
“I was praying that Lizzie could take it, but it wasn't a guarantee. That was huge.”
Sherrie Neu
“I wish you could make a friend of me, Lizzie. Do you think you could? I have no more of what they call character, my dear, than a canary-bird, but I know I am trustworthy.”
Charles Dickens
