“When I realized I could use Facebook as a way to communicate directly with my fans, I thought it would be a great idea.”

Take personal responsibility. A lot of people go, ‘Well, I’ll get a dog because I have a kid and a kid needs a dog.’ And it doesn’t work out for that dog and the dog is on the street.

Why retire from something if you’re loving it so much and enjoying it so much, and you’re blessed with another group of people to work with like the gang on ‘Hot in Cleveland?’ Why would I think of retiring? What would I do with myself?

I’m in the acting business. That’s the ego business.

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.

There is a specter haunting Europe, the specter of Communism.

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.

Communication is not about speaking what we think. Communication is about ensuring others hear what we mean.

Trade is a communication of cultures and values.

Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action.

People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.

The need to communicate effectively with your customers will come up again and again.

A perfect date is probably something somewhere where you can kind of communicate and talk to the person.
