I think it's time for people to stop being so serious about everything.

Everybody has a dysfunctional family.

People would get Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence all mushed together in their brains, and, bless their hearts, it would come out Carol Lawrence.

Making people laugh is what I really enjoy.

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.

I don't get people baring their lives on television. Maybe it makes other people feel better about themselves. Is that what it is? You watch these people making total fools of themselves. It's like there's absolutely no privacy.

I definitely go with the flow because I feel like I have been so lucky, and so many things have happened to me that just never should have happened.

This country wants to laugh. We want to, and we need to. I'm happy to oblige.

TV's been good to me.

The thing that everybody loves about the 'Burnett Show' was that you felt like you were really there - all that fun stuff stayed in the show, and I think that's why everybody remembers it so fondly because that just doesn't happen anymore on television.
