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

When we started in television, there was that magic box in the corner of the room, and ‘Oh my gosh – look what it’s doing!’

I really don’t care with whom you sleep. I just care what kind of a decent human being you are.

During the Depression, my dad made radios to sell to make extra money. Nobody had any money to buy the radios, so he would trade them for dogs. He built kennels in the backyard, and he cared for the dogs.

I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business.

The writers are the stars of every really successful sitcom.

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

I don’t get political.

I may be a senior, but so what? I’m still hot.

I have my golden retriever now, Pontiac. He’s a career-change guide dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind.

I 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.

I’m in the middle of my sixth book, which is about animals at the Los Angeles Zoo.

I’m a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.

I 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.

I don’t care who anybody sleeps with. If a couple has been together all that time – and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones – I think it’s fine if they want to get married. I don’t know how people can get so anti-something.

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 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.

Cry later, but for now, let’s enjoy the laughter.

I enjoy it when it’s over! I enjoy whatever success we have. If an audience finds it funny, then it’s been worth it.

It’s a new day. Count your blessings, think twice before you complain, give more than you ask for, do what makes you happy and enjoy life.

The older one gets, the more one feels that the present moment must be enjoyed, comparable to a state of grace.

I really love animals and enjoy working with them.

A man who has been through bitter experiences and travelled far enjoys even his sufferings after a time.

It’s always so blessed to have some time to enjoy Mother nature!

A hot cup of tea brings a sense of comfort where I can enjoy the weather in the confines of my home.
