Carol Burnett

Carol Burnett
What I do when I write is I just write the way I would tell it, so it comes out just exactly the way I would talk to you.

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
But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.
Carol Burnett
Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.
Carol Burnett
there were times when I was more at home in front of millions of people than I was at home.
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
I love to write. I have always loved writing. That was my first love.
Carol Burnett
I couldn't get the laughter out of my head. It wasn't career. It wasn't even a choice. It was a calling.
Carol Burnett
No one ever said life was fair. Just Eventful.
Carol Burnett
You know, one wonderful thing that came out of my Enquirer experience is that, in my case, it was ruled tabloids are magazines. Which means they didn't have the protection that a newspaper has.
Carol Burnett
I had a good loud voice and I wasn't afraid to be goofy or zany.
Carol Burnett
