Vicki Lawrence quotes:

Everybody just told me from the day I went into high school that I looked like Carol Burnett.

I do love pasta. It gets me into trouble. If I could give up pasta and bread, I'd look like Cate Blanchett.

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.

That's my opportunity to hide behind that old lady and say what I want to say.

I was married for 10 minutes into a Southern family.

I wanted to study to be a dental hygienist, marry a rich dentist, and hang it up.

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.

The fun part for me is to just really push that envelope.

Life is much too serious to be taken seriously.

Even though I was in close proximity to everything, it never really dawned on me to pursue a career in show business.

Things have always sort of happened for me. Something else always comes up.
