dull filled life
Life is filled with a lot of stuff, you know. There is never a dull moment.
mother empty-rooms wish
I wish there was something more that performers could do other than get out there and sing at benefit performances. I wish I felt that if I had an empty room I'd like to bring in someone and make it a hospice, but I'm not Mother Teresa. I can't do that.
california towns small-town
I come from a small town in Maryland. I came to California in 1972 to begin Maude.
animal voice important
Making lasting gifts for animals in our estate plans is perhaps the single most important thing we can do to ensure animals have the strongest possible voice for their protection.
fighting animal choices
Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.
asking everybody played time
The only one I wanted to do that I didn't was Gypsy, but by the time they got around to asking me, everybody in the world had played it, so I thought now is not the time.
reason time took
That's another reason that I don't want to do any more series. It really took up more time than I should have allotted to it.
comedy
I think the mother-daughter between Estelle and me was one made in comedy heaven.
crap knows
You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There's a lot of crap out there.
giving-up kindness fighting
PETA has a proven track record of success. Each victory PETA wins for the animals is a stepping stone upon which we build a more compassionate world for all beings - and we will never give up our fight until all animals are treated with respect and kindness.
nice luxury work-out
But that's one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn't work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time.
believe earth forget
I believe that you're here on Earth for a short time, and while you're here, you shouldn't forget it.
beautiful eye understanding
In sitcoms, the women are so beautiful, understanding and well-bred. They have humor, but sort of display it with a twinkle of the eye and not a guffaw. But there's no juice in that for me.
beautiful feet blonde
All this time I've just wanted to be blonde, beautiful and 5 feet 2 inches tall.
