I came here today to ask, to beg you, to beg you, to vote to release those elephants from that zoo. They have lived in misery. |
I can tell you that I'd rather be kissed by my dogs than by some people I've known. |
I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s. |
I'll tell you one thing, in what I do for a living, there's no substitute for experience. I don't care how much natural talent you may have. . . . In the type of show I do, you can depend on surprises. |
I'm a vegetarian - I think there's a strong possibility, had I not become a vegetarian, I would not be working now. I became a vegetarian about 25 years ago, and I did it out of concern for animals. But I immediately began having more energy and feeling better. |
I've learned my song, and I sing it. |
If you look around, you don't see young women wearing furs, you see matronly women wearing furs. Furs are no longer chic. |
In their natural habitat elephants graze up to 20 hours a day. A circus keeps an elephant in chains 90% of the time. They are deprived of water and deprived of food. They are shocked. |
Many people have the idea that game shows are easy to come up with. And nothing could be further from the truth. |
Maybe I should blame it on Chuck Norris, ... He probably kicked me in the neck. God knows he kicked me everywhere else. |
Networks decide who will have a chance to do shows, but it is the viewers who make the final decision of who stays and who goes. I am very fortunate, in that the television viewers of our country have decided that Bob Barker can stay. |
Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they've had their pets spayed or neutered. |
There's only one solution to the tragic, the embarrassing elephant problem going on at (the zoo), and it's to release those elephants from captivity and place them in a sanctuary. |
They may in the future induct people who deserve it more than I, but they will never induct anyone who appreciates this honor more than I, |
