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.

More quotes by Betty White
We laugh a lot. That's for sure. Sure beats the alternative, doesn't it?
Betty White
Wilderness is harder and harder to find these days on this beautiful planet, and we're abusing our planet to the point of almost no return.
Betty White
Retirement is not in my vocabulary.
Betty White
It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.
Betty White
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.
Betty White
Gravity has taken over me from time to time. But otherwise than that, I'm blessed with good health. That's the bottom line.
Betty White
I've worked with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years, and we have this magnificent photographer, Tad Motoyama. He takes these wonderful, wonderful animal pictures. All through the years he's given me copies of these pictures. Well, I have all these gorgeous ones, so I said, 'Tad, I want to do a book with your picture on one side.'

If you call me a comedian I will be very grateful. I will thank you profoundly. No, I love doing comedy. It's fun once in a while to do a serious part but I really enjoy doing comedy because I love to laugh.
Betty White
Don't try to be young. Just open your mind. Stay interested in stuff. There are so many things I won't live long enough to find out about, but I'm still curious about them. You know people who are already saying, 'I'm going to be 30 - oh, what am I going to do?' Well, use that decade! Use them all!
Betty White
I think everybody needs a passion. Whether it's one passion or a hundred, that's what keep life interesting.
Betty White
I think a lot of people like hidden-camera shows where they think they're spying on somebody who doesn't know they're looking at them. And nobody takes it seriously - you either enjoy it and get a laugh out of the reactions or not.
Betty White
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.
Betty White
The film industry gives you the opportunity to meet interesting people.
Betty White
Humor is like music. It's a rhythm, and you just kind of get the rhythm of it, and you have to know not to let the beat go too long, but to leave a beat in there for it to gel.
Betty White
I think older women still have a full life. Maybe the writers don't address it these days, but it doesn't change the fact.
Betty White
When I realized I could use Facebook as a way to communicate directly with my fans, I thought it would be a great idea.
Betty White
If one has no sense of humor, one is in trouble.
Betty White
I love words. Sudoku I don't get into, I'm not into numbers that much, and there are people who are hooked on that. But crossword puzzles, I just can't - if I get a puppy and I paper train him and I put the - if all of a sudden I'd open the paper and there's a crossword puzzle - 'No, no, you can't go on that, honey. I'll take it.'
Betty White
I don't care who anybody sleeps with.
Betty White
Hot dogs and Red Vines and potato chips and French fries are my favorite foods.
