I never intended to be in show business; I intended to be an extremely grounded person.
From Vicki Lawrence
I wanted to study to be a dental hygienist, marry a rich dentist, and hang it up.
I went to UCLA, my dad's alma mater, and that was his dream.
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.
Even though I was in close proximity to everything, it never really dawned on me to pursue a career in show business.
I do love pasta. It gets me into trouble. If I could give up pasta and bread, I'd look like Cate Blanchett.
I think the older you get, the more 'let's cut to the chase' you get, 'let's quit quibbling about this, let's tell it like it is.'
Everybody just told me from the day I went into high school that I looked like Carol Burnett.
