Danh ngôn của Carol Burnett (Sứ mệnh: 5)

Adolescence is just one big walking pimple.
Celebrity was a long time in coming; it will go away. Everything goes away.
When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go.
It costs a lot to sue a magazine, and it's too bad that we don't have a system where the losing team has to pay the winning team's lawyers.
But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.
My interesting diet tips are eat early and don't nosh between meals. I mean, I can pack it away.
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.
We don't stop going to school when we graduate.
You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk. It helps to know that you can survive it. That's an education in itself.
I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.
I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.
I do the 'New York Times' crossword puzzle every morning to keep the old grey matter ticking.
Everybody I know who is funny, it's in them. You can teach timing, or some people are able to tell a joke, though I don't like to tell jokes. But I think you have to be born with a sense of humor and a sense of timing.
Funny is funny. I dare anyone to look at Tim Conway and Harvey Korman doing the dentist sketch, which is more than 40 years old, and not scream with laughter.
I loved the Kennedy Center Honors because you just sit there, smile, wave, and cry.
I've always been optimistic. And I have a feeling that it happened because of going to all those movies with my grandmother in the '40s because there was no cynicism.
