Betty White quotes - page 3

I'm in the middle of my sixth book, which is about animals at the Los Angeles Zoo. (Betty White)
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. View quote
Betty White
I'm a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative. View quote
Betty White
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. View quote
Betty White
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. View quote
Betty White
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. View quote
Betty White
I have a two-story house and a bad memory, so I'm up and down those stairs all the time. That's my exercise. View quote
Betty White
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? View quote
Betty White
I don't know where I learned elephants like their tongues slapped. Whatever turns you on. View quote
Betty White
I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor. View quote
Betty White
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. (Betty White)
If you get into a Broadway show and it doesn't work, you're a failure. And if it does work, you may be stuck for who knows how long. It just doesn't sound great to me! View quote
Betty White
I am interested in a lot of things - not just show business and my passion for animals. I try to keep current in what's going on in the world. I do mental exercises. I don't have any trouble memorizing lines because of the crossword puzzles I do every day to keep my mind a little limber. I don't sit and vegetate. View quote
Betty White
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. View quote
Betty White
I really don't care with whom you sleep. I just care what kind of a decent human being you are. View quote
