“I really don’t care with whom you sleep. I just care what kind of a decent human being you are.”

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!

I didn’t know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, I have to say, it sounds like a huge waste of time.

I’m the luckiest broad on two feet, I’ll tell you that. They say once a woman passes 40 she doesn’t get any good parts, so I’m blessed.

Wilderness is harder and harder to find these days on this beautiful planet, and we’re abusing our planet to the point of almost no return.

If you’re walking with your lady on the sidewalk, I still like to see a man walking street-side, to protect the lady from traffic. I grew up with that, and I hate to see something like that get lost. I still like to see that a man opens the door. I like those touches of chivalry that are fast disappearing.

It’s fun once in a while to do a serious part but I really enjoy doing comedy because I love to laugh.

Careful those who fight with monsters, that they might become monsters themeselves.

Are you not ashamed of caring so much for the making of money and for fame and prestige, when you neither think nor care about wisdom and truth and the improvement of your soul?

Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.

Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.

I just want to be happy. If that’s me just being myself, then I don’t really care.

I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.

No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful.

Women should have free access to every field of labor which they care to enter, and when their work is as valuable as that of a man it should be paid as highly.
