Tim Conway was a little different from the rest. He was always in the back of the studio building something with the prop man, rewriting his lines, or plotting our demise.
There's nobody telling Oprah what to do. There's no one telling David Letterman what he can and can't do. You've got to have 100 percent support from everybody who's behind the show, across the board.
I wanted to study to be a dental hygienist, marry a rich dentist, and hang it up.
I was trying to be Mary Tyler Moore. I loved her in 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'
We all have somebody that sits down at the Thanksgiving table and says the most outrageous things, and you're doin' the dishes with your sister, and you're like, 'Omigod, can you believe she said that?'
My favorite game shows were 'Password' and '$25,000 Pyramid.'
Everyone has a crazy old lady in their family like 'Mama.' No one ever comes up to me and says 'Mama' is just like them, so no one is ever offended by her. Even young people like to laugh at her. I think she helps kids appreciate their own grandmothers more.
'Mama's Family' was kind of like everyone's guilty pleasure.
I played Miley Cyrus' grandma on 'Hannah Montana,' and the first time I was on, they said, 'We love having veterans like you on because she's like a little sponge, and she's really appreciative of all the veterans that are coming on the show, and we just love that you're teaching her.'
Harvey Korman was like a private tutor to me. He was such a mentor.
I feel like my life has been very serendipitous and really kind of humorous. Everything that's happened to me has been like an, 'Omigod, are you kidding me?'
I feel it is time to lighten up and laugh about things and enjoy ourselves a little bit more.
It's special to have people see you and tell you, 'You make me laugh.' That makes me feel good. I think if you have the talent to do it, it's your duty to pass it on.
This country wants to laugh. We want to, and we need to. I'm happy to oblige.
That's my opportunity to hide behind that old lady and say what I want to say.
I am opinionated and want to be part of the conversations.
When I first got an outbreak of hives, I tried everything to find relief. I felt like no one understood what I was going through.
What I learned was that celebrities come to me with a preconceived notion. They think I'm fun, or they've worked with me, or they know me, or we've met. So there's a lot of backstuff on the 'Vicki!' show.
I am no prude, but when I watch comedy, I ask myself, 'Who wrote this? A teenage boy in the locker room?'
I love to cook. I'm a sailor. And I was the eighth-grade ping-pong champion.
