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.

BETTY WHITEI just want to bring as much natural as I can. I’m not saying that people who take acting lessons are false. They’re much better than I am, but it doesn’t work for me.
BETTY WHITEDoing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don’t get that laugh, there’s something wrong.
BETTY WHITEI am the luckiest old broad on two feet if the truth were known. It’s – but it all goes back to ‘Mary Tyler Moore,’ ‘Golden Girls,’ all those – actors love to take the credit. We couldn’t do it without the writers.
BETTY WHITEWell, 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.
BETTY WHITEI really don’t care with whom you sleep. I just care what kind of a decent human being you are.
BETTY WHITEAnimals don’t lie. Animals don’t criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.
BETTY WHITEI kid around a lot, but pranks are not my best strength!

BETTY WHITEI 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.
BETTY WHITEI don’t know where I learned elephants like their tongues slapped. Whatever turns you on.
BETTY WHITEAnger tears me up inside, My own, or anyone else’s.
BETTY WHITEI think it’s your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that’s a waste of a lovely life. ‘Oh… I’m 30, oh, I’m 40, oh, 50.’ Make the most of it.
BETTY WHITEI 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.
BETTY WHITEI’m a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.
BETTY WHITEIt’s fun once in a while to do a serious part but I really enjoy doing comedy because I love to laugh.
