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.

More quotes by Betty White
Animals don't lie. Animals don't criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.
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
'Mary Tyler Moore' was - it was my first big hit.
Betty White
When I'm around animals, I don't pay attention to people.
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'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.
Betty White
I've always liked older men. They're just more attractive to me. Of course, at my age there aren't that many left!
Betty White
Oh, I don't need sleep. I just went to my hotel room and had a cold hot dog and a vodka on the rocks.
Betty White
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.
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.
Betty White
You can always tell about somebody by the way they put their hands on an animal.
Betty White
Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.
Betty White
I don't care who anybody sleeps with.
Betty White
If the guy's a cutie, you've gotta tap that booty.
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
Friendship takes time and energy if it's going to work. You can luck into something great, but it doesn't last if you don't give it proper appreciation. Friendship can be so comfortable, but nurture it-don't take it for granted.
Betty White
You gotta use everything you possibly can!
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
We laugh a lot. That's for sure. Sure beats the alternative, doesn't it?
Betty White
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.
