I'm having the time of my life and the fact that I'm still working - how lucky can you get? I'm 90 years old and still able to work as much as I do. That's a privilege.
I just want to bring as much natural as I can. I'm not saying that people who take acting lessons are false. They're much better than I am, but it doesn't work for me.
I'm not what you might call sexy, but I'm romantic. Let's put it that way.
I think that a show that is as successful as 'The Golden Girls' is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. If you don't feel proud to be part of a show that has that kind of track record, then shame on you, because that's a privilege.
I was an only child and I had a mother and father who were just - there wasn't a straight man in the house, and I mean that in a very nice way. They were fun, and we would laugh a lot.
It's fun once in a while to do a serious part but I really enjoy doing comedy because I love to laugh.
I'm in the acting business. That's the ego business.
I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.
I kid around a lot, but pranks are not my best strength!
I love Cadillacs and name them after birds.
I have my golden retriever now, Pontiac. He's a career-change guide dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Wendy Malick and Valerie Bertinelli make fun of me, but I take care of my health - I don't abuse it.
Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.
The bottom line is, I'm blessed with good health. On top of that, I don't go around thinking 'Oh, I'm 90, I better do this or I better do that.' I'm just Betty. I'm the same Betty that I've always been. Take it or leave it.
