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 love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.
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’m blessed with good health for which I’m deeply grateful, so for that reason, I feel so good. Everybody else is far more excited about the 90 than I am.
Kindness and consideration of somebody besides yourself. I think that keeps you feeling young. I really do.
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.
Those that just talk are also the ones that say, ‘Why don’t they do this?’ and ‘Why don’t they do that?’ Well, they’re they. We’re all they, and we can all do a little something.
We actors can’t take the credit. We love to try to claim the credit.
Avoid tweeting any photos of your private parts.
As the years went on, the audience has become very jaded. They’ve heard every joke, they’ve seen every story line, they know where you’re going before you even start to get there. And that’s a hard audience to keep interested.
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.
I’m in the middle of my sixth book, which is about animals at the Los Angeles Zoo.
When I’m around animals, I don’t pay attention to people.
I was one of the first women producers in Hollywood.
I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business.
When I pontificate, it sounds so, you know, Oh, well, she’s preaching. I’m not preaching, but I think maybe I learned it from my animal friends. Kindness and consideration of somebody besides yourself. I think that keeps you feeling young. I really do.
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.
Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.
A good friend of mine was Lucy Ball. Her mother and my mother were best friends.
People who don’t like cats haven’t been around them. There’s the old joke: dogs have masters, cats have staff.
