People have told me 'Betty, Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with old friends...' .. At my age, if I wanted to keep in touch with old friends, I'd need a Ouija board

When you start explaining why something's funny or finding a formula for it I think it loses some of its funniness.

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

Facebook just sounds like a drag, in my day seeing pictures of peoples vacations was considered a punishment

When I pontificate, it sounds so, you know, Oh, well, she's preaching. I'm not preaching, but I think maybe I learned it from my animal friends. Kindness and consideration of somebody besides yourself. I think that keeps you feeling young. I really do.

I'm just happy as a lark having a good health. People say are you thinking about retiring, I don't have time to think about retiring.

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.
