“Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren’t going to get rid of me that way.”

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.

I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.
