I don't care who anybody sleeps with.

Humor is like a rhythm it's like music. And you throw a couple of extra syllables in, you wreck the beat and you kill the laugh. So I try to follow the writers very carefully because I know how carefully they worked to do it that way.

I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business.
Betty White
Image
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.
Betty White
Image
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.
Betty White
Image
I think it's your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that's a waste of a lovely life. 'Oh... I'm 30, oh, I'm 40, oh, 50.' Make the most of it.

We laugh a lot. That's for sure. Sure beats the alternative, doesn't it?

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.

I enjoy being busy, I really do. Remember, I'm the stub end of the railroad. I have no family, so I'm not taking busy time away from people that I should be spending it with. So I'm just relaxing and enjoying it.

I think everybody needs a passion. Whether it's one passion or a hundred, that's what keep life interesting.

It’s [old age] not a surprise, we knew it was coming – make the most of it. So you may not be as fast on your feet, and the image in your mirror may be a little disappointing, but if you are still functioning and not in pain, gratitude should be the name of the game.

It's been phenomenal, but everybody keeps congratulating me on my resurgence and my big comeback. I haven't been away, guys. I've been working steadily for the last 63 years.

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

If one has no sense of humor, one is in trouble.

Long ago, I did a five-and-a-half-hour-a-day, six-day-a-week talk show for four years, early on, in Los Angeles - local show. And when you are on that many hours with no script, you know, you get very comfortable, maybe overly comfortable with that small audience.

Retirement is not in my vocabulary.
Betty White

I like double entendre because then the people who get it enjoy it, and the people who don't get it don't know about it.

I had to make a major decision with myself because I just don't think you can do both: try to have a baby career and raise it and have a baby baby and raise it. And to try to do justice to either one. It was a very conscious decision on my part not to have children - which I have never regretted.

Gravity has taken over me from time to time. But otherwise than that, I'm blessed with good health. That's the bottom line.

My mother always used to say: 'The older you get, the better you get, unless you're a banana.'
