I am a huge 'Downton Abbey' fan - huge!
With plastic surgery, the general anesthetic is like a black-velvety sleep, and that's what death is - without waking up to someone clapping and going, 'Joan, wake up, it's all over and you're looking pretty'.
If God wanted us to bend over he'd put diamonds on the floor.
I'm always shocked when I get an invitation. People are always shocked when they see me at a party.
Elizabeth Taylor has more chins than the Chinese telephone directory.
I hate old people, I hate children. I think any celebrity that adopts a child from a third world country is a fool.
I succeeded by saying what everyone else is thinking.
The worst thing that ever happened to me on stage is someone ran forward to tell me they loved me and projectile vomited all over the stage. It was horrible.
Thank God we're living in a country where the sky's the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television.
I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again.
When you whisper about something, it's too big, and you can't get it under control and take control of it.
Never floss with a stranger.
Any comic is a very good actor. Look at Don Rickles. He is saying the same joke every night for 20 years and making it look like he just thought of it.
What makes me laugh is, of course, the absurd, the horror - anything that upsets me.
I've had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.
It's feast or famine in showbiz.
The ideal beauty is a fugitive which is never found.

If you're saying the same line 10 times and making it look like you just came up with it, that's acting.
A man can sleep around, no questions asked, but if a woman makes nineteen or twenty mistakes she's a tramp.
Anyone that says looks don't count is lying. Of course they do. Even babies go to the attractive face. It's the way humans work.
Every comedian is furious. Age makes me angry. I'm unhappy at not being able to open packages anymore. I'm angry that libraries have gone. I hate children on planes. I'm very shallow, so they tend to be little things. To be honest, I think I was probably angry the day I was born, you know, about diapers or something.
I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.
Fat jokes aren't relevant, but they're hilarious when you find them.

Boy George is all England needs - another queen who can't dress.
My husband wanted to be cremated. I told him I'd scatter his ashes at Neiman Marcus - that way, I'd visit him every day.
