Animals don’t lie. Animals don’t criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.
BETTY WHITEAnimals don’t lie. Animals don’t criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.
BETTY WHITEI 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.
BETTY WHITEThe bottom line is, I’m blessed with good health. On top of that, I don’t go around thinking ‘Oh, I’m 90, I better do this or I better do that.’ I’m just Betty. I’m the same Betty that I’ve always been. Take it or leave it.
BETTY WHITEI’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.
BETTY WHITEI’m in the acting business. That’s the ego business.
BETTY WHITEIf 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.
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 like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.
BETTY WHITEI’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.
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 WHITEI have my golden retriever now, Pontiac. He’s a career-change guide dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind.
BETTY WHITEAnimal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.
BETTY WHITEI kid around a lot, but pranks are not my best strength!
BETTY WHITEI’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.
BETTY WHITEDoing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don’t get that laugh, there’s something wrong.
BETTY WHITERetirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren’t going to get rid of me that way.
