Beatrice Arthur Quotes

"All this time I've just wanted to be blonde, beautiful and 5 feet 2 inches tall."

"I really feel all my adult life has been spent in that little, black box. If a wonderful part on TV came along, I would do it. But I don't want to do a recurring role. It would just be my luck that the thing would be successful. I'm old enough now and also secure enough financially that I really only want to do what I want to do."

At least I'm not playing other people for a change. It's a very odd place to be... I feel I'm an actress who sings a bit.

After being in the business for such a long time, I've done everything but rodeo and porno.

And I hate autobiographies, I don't know why.
