"I make fun wherever I go... If I go to a restaurant by myself, rest assured, people will be talking about it. I always have a great deal of fun being with people. It's part of the journey"
About this Quote
The subtext is old-school showbiz survival. An actress of Leachman's era learned early that attention is currency, but also that it has to be earned in small, human ways: by turning a dull moment into a bit, by turning strangers into scene partners. The line "I always have a great deal of fun being with people" isn’t a Hallmark sentiment; it’s a thesis about performance as relationship. Her fun depends on contact, on the friction of other personalities. Even solitude becomes a setup, because an audience can be invented.
"It's part of the journey" is the disarming coda: a gentle refusal to over-mythologize. After decades in a business that confuses success with destiny, she shrinks the grand narrative down to the everyday craft of delighting people. The intent feels both generous and tactical: if you can make the room laugh, you can keep moving through it on your own terms.
