“I may be a senior, but so what? I’m still hot.”

Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don’t get that laugh, there’s something wrong.

Anger tears me up inside, My own, or anyone else’s.

I’m so compulsive about stuff, I know if I had ever gotten pregnant, of course, that would have been my whole focus. But I didn’t choose to have children because I’m focused on my career. And I just don’t think, as compulsive as I am, that I could manage both.

I don’t seem to require a lot of sleep. I just – if I get four, five good hours, I’m fine. But sleeping is sort of dull. There’s a lot of other good stuff that you can do without just lying down and closing your eyes.

I like double entendre because then the people who get it enjoy it, and the people who don’t get it don’t know about it.

I think a lot of people like hidden-camera shows where they think they’re spying on somebody who doesn’t know they’re looking at them. And nobody takes it seriously – you either enjoy it and get a laugh out of the reactions or not.

I go out to the kitchen to feed the dog, but that’s about as much cooking as I do.

You can always tell about somebody by the way they put their hands on an animal.

Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I’ve devoted my life to trying to improve their lives.

I’m not what you might call sexy, but I’m romantic. Let’s put it that way.

I’ve worked with Morris Animal Foundation for more than 40 years now, and I’m so proud of all they’ve done to advance veterinary medicine for animals worldwide.

Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.

Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren’t going to get rid of me that way.

I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.

I think that a show that is as successful as ‘The Golden Girls’ is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. If you don’t feel proud to be part of a show that has that kind of track record, then shame on you, because that’s a privilege.

I kid around a lot, but pranks are not my best strength!

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

I don’t believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one’s aspect to the sun.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

The experience of every age and nation has proved it and we must in a great measure.

No matter the age, a woman who is unloved is lost – unloved she might as well die.

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.

Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.
