You know what the problem that animal activists sometimes have? They only concentrate on the heartbreaking things to the point where the general public thinks, 'Oh, here comes those animal folks again and I'm going to hear all the things I don't want to hear.'
We actors can't take the credit. We love to try to claim the credit.
You don't luck into integrity. You work at it.
I didn't know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, I have to say, it sounds like a huge waste of time.
When you start explaining why something's funny or finding a formula for it I think it loses some of its funniness.
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.
I still like to see that a man opens the door. I like those touches of chivalry that are fast disappearing. If I sound old-fashioned, it's because I'm as old as I am! But it's just polite.
Once someone has had the good fortune to share a true love affair with a Golden Retriever, one's life and one's outlook is never quite the same.
So much of the humor on new sitcoms plays to the lowest common denominator. Wit isn't nearly given as much attention as slipping on a banana peel. So much of the writing is so coarse, so obvious that it doesn't provide a shock, never mind a laugh. What makes something funny is alluding to it without laying it out explicitly. You let the audiences fill in the gaps and that's where the laughs come.
I've always had a bawdy sense of humor. My father was a traveling salesman and he would bring jokes home. He would say, "Honey, you can take this one to school, but you can't take that one to school."
I go out to the kitchen to feed the dog, but that's about as much cooking as I do.
I may be a senior, but so what? I'm still hot.
I think everybody needs a passion. Whether it's one passion or a hundred, that's what keep life interesting.
I know unless I'm true to myself I couldn't be happy. Too much emphasis is placed today on externals and too little on character.
