Betty White

I was an only child and I had a mother and father who were just - there wasn't a straight man in the house, and I mean that in a very nice way. They were fun, and we would laugh a lot.

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!'

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

When I realized I could use Facebook as a way to communicate directly with my fans, I thought it would be a great idea.

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

I think older women still have a full life.

Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.

I 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.

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

I'm having the time of my life and the fact that I'm still working - how lucky can you get? I'm 90 years old and still able to work as much as I do. That's a privilege.

I go out to the kitchen to feed the dog, but that's about as much cooking as I do.

Wilderness is harder and harder to find these days on this beautiful planet, and we're abusing our planet to the point of almost no return.

I love Cadillacs and name them after birds.

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

I was one of the first women producers in Hollywood.

I'm in the acting business. That's the ego business.

Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.

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 always wanted to be a zookeeper when I was growing up, and I've wound up a zookeeper! I've been working with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years! I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet because my life is divided absolutely in half - half animals and half show business. You can't ask for better than two things you love the most.
