Carol Burnett

Carol Burnett

Carol Burnett
I was once asked to do my Tarzan yell at Bergdorf Goodman, and a guard burst in with a gun! Now I only do it under controlled circumstances.
Carol Burnett
I have always grown from my problems and challenges, from the things that don't work out, that's when I've really learned.
Carol Burnett
Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.
Carol Burnett
I don't eat much meat, fish, or poultry.
Carol Burnett
It's also selfish because it makes you feel good when you help others. I've been helped by acts of kindness from strangers. That's why we're here, after all, to help others.
Carol Burnett

Carol Burnett
It's almost impossible to be funnier than the people in Washington.
Carol Burnett
It costs a lot to sue a magazine, and it's too bad that we don't have a system where the losing team has to pay the winning team's lawyers.
Carol Burnett
No matter what, when you major in theater arts whether you want to write or be a director or design scenery or whatever, when you are a freshman at UCLA then - I guess it's still the same way - you had to take an acting class.
