“A lady likes to be complimented on her looks, her eyes, her figure. But the personality comments are much appreciated.”

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.

I enjoy being busy, I really do. Remember, I’m the stub end of the railroad. I have no family, so I’m not taking busy time away from people that I should be spending it with. So I’m just relaxing and enjoying it.

I still have a lot of pleasure doing them, but as time goes by I come to appreciate more clearly which paintings are good and which should be discarded.

Your favorite virtue? An appreciation for irony.

Reflecting on where I came from helps me to appreciate and balance what I have now.

Encourage one another. Many times a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept people on their feet.

I obviously have a great love and appreciation of jewelry, thanks to my mother, much to the dismay of both my father and my boyfriends.

Wealth can also be that attitude of gratitude with which we remind ourselves everyday to count our blessings.

Our appreciations, it was felt, could be so much more inclusive if we said that something, instead of being beautiful, was ‘interesting’.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy.
