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

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!

I can’t imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!

As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky, and as long as I can enjoy it, how can I be sad?

How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!

If you’re not enjoying your work, you should either change your attitude, or change your job.

I enjoy racing historic motorcars from the ’50s and ’60s.

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.

I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!
