I go out to the kitchen to feed the dog, but that's about as much cooking as I do.

We actors can't take the credit. We love to try to claim the credit.

I was one of the first women producers in Hollywood.

Now that I'm 91, as opposed to being 90, I'm much wiser. I'm much more aware and I'm much sexier.

I don't know where I learned elephants like their tongues slapped. Whatever turns you on.

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.

So much of the humor on new sitcoms plays to the lowest common denominator. Wit isn't nearly given as much attention as slipping on a banana peel. So much of the writing is so coarse, so obvious that it doesn't provide a shock, never mind a laugh. What makes something funny is alluding to it without laying it out explicitly. You let the audiences fill in the gaps and that's where the laughs come.
