The bottom line is, I'm blessed with good health. On top of that, I don't go around thinking 'Oh, I'm 90, I better do this or I better do that.' I'm just Betty. I'm the same Betty that I've always been. Take it or leave it.

I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.

'Mary Tyler Moore' was - it was my first big hit.
