When I look back at those pictures of my mother performing - and listen to her recordings - it makes me sad to think that all of that joy she found in her work came to an end. I wish she hadn't had to make that sacrifice, even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me.

I was an educated girl. I'd done very well in school. I had a good point average and graduated from USC as an English teacher. My dad didn't even finish high school.

The Golden Girls certainly proved that there was a large audience for a show about older women.

A man has to be Joe McCarthy to be called ruthless. All a woman has to do is put you on hold.

A lecture is an occasion when you numb one end to benefit the other.

I'll use mascara because I need a little help with my blonde eyelashes. I like They're Real! by Benefit.

It is good to see women doctors and lawyers and executives. I can visualize a woman president. If I were British, I would have supported Margaret Thatcher. But no benefit to anyone can come from women serving in combat.

Being generous or doing things for others actually makes me feel good so I don't do it because I hope karma will come round and get me and I'll benefit from it.

He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.
