From “The Golden Girls” to hilarious Super Bowl commercials, Betty White has won the admiration of fans everywhere. On Thursday, the actress will celebrate her 97th birthday and has no plans on slowing down amid her thriving career.
Along with providing the world with entertainment, she has also shared her humor and love of animals. In honor of her birthday, we compiled some of White’s best quotes and one-liners from BrainyQuote and Goodreads.
Check out some of the most memorable things the 97-year-old actress has said over the years:
“I may be a senior, but so what? I’m still hot.”
“I have a two-story house and a bad memory, so I’m up and down those stairs all the time. That’s my exercise.”
“Why do people say ‘grow some balls?’ Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”
“You can always tell about somebody by the way they put their hands on an animal.”
“Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.”
“I kid around a lot, but pranks are not my best strength!”
“I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business.”
“If one has no sense of humor, one is in trouble.”
“I’m a teenager trapped in an old body.”
“My mother always used to say, ‘The older you get, the better you get. Unless you’re a banana.’”
“Sex without pain is like food without taste.”
“You can lie to anyone in the world and even get away with it, perhaps, but when you are alone and look into your own eyes in the mirror, you can’t sidestep the truth.”
“So you may not be as fast on your feet, and the image in your mirror may be a little disappointing, but if you are still functioning and not in pain, gratitude should be the name of the game.”
“Trolls suck.”
“People have told me ‘Betty, Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with old friends…’ .. At my age, if I wanted to keep in touch with old friends, I’d need a Ouija board.”
