Do you ever wake up and ask yourself, "How can I be more like comedic genius Lily Tomlin?" It's okay. We all do.
Growing up in 1950s Detroit, Tomlin fell in love with film while working as an usherette in a local movie theater.
Little did she realize, her own career would eventually stretch over the worlds of film, television, Broadway, and comedy.
Here are a few simple steps to get you going towards that Tomlin lifestyle.
1. Have hair that is as beautiful and feathered as John Travolta's, if not more so.
2. Once you find that signature look, remember it will never truly go out of style.
3. Master the art of making an entrance...
4. ... as well as a proper exit.
5. Always be unapologetically your unique self.
6. Remember that life doesn't always work out the way you intend it to.
8. Always carry yourself with poise and elegance.
9. When you finally land a big magazine cover, try to make it memorable.
If and when you can be best friends with Meryl Streep...
10. ... be friends with Meryl Streep.
11. Understand the endless power of a solid pair of sunglasses.
12. Always keep at least one smooth pick-up line in your back pocket.
13. You never want to lose that flirtatious edge.
14. Preserve your childlike sense of curiosity, wonder, and imagination.
15. And when life gets you down...
...let your friends pick you right back up.
16. When you find friends like that, under no circumstances are you to let them go.
17. If you can't have your friends by your side, at least have a loyal companion.
18. Never let anyone make you feel small or insignificant.
19. When you find that very special person in your life...
... don't let them get away.
20. And, obviously, never lose your sense of humor.
