“I cannot stand the people who get wonderful starts in show business and who abuse it. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen, for example, although there are plenty of others, too. They are the most blessed people in the world, and they don’t appreciate it.”

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.

I think older women still have a full life.

I don’t know where I learned elephants like their tongues slapped. Whatever turns you on.

I’ve enjoyed the opposite sex a lot. Always have. Always will.

Well, I mean, if a joke or humor is bawdy, it’s got to be funny enough to warrant it. You can’t just have it bawdy or dirty just for the sake of being that – it’s got to be funny.

For one person who is blessed with the power of invention, many will always be found who have the capacity of applying principles.

Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious, O’er a’ the ills o’ life victorious.

There is literally nothing that I ever asked to do, that I asked the blessed Creator to help me to do, that I have not been able to accomplish.

Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.

Ills are many, blessings few, but dreams tonight will shelter you.

I am content; that is a blessing greater than riches; and he to whom that is given need ask no more.

Music, such music, is a sufficient gift. Why ask for happiness; why hope not to grieve? It is enough, it is to be blessed enough, to live from day to day and to hear such music-not too much, or the soul could not sustain it-from time to time.

Riches without charity are nothing worth. They are a blessing only to him who makes them a blessing to others.
