Raquel Welch

Keep in mind that most men like to pursue and win you. Don’t rob him of the enjoyment of doing that. When it comes to dressing to go out, it’s been my experience that guys prefer to think that the object of their affection is someone exclusive who isn’t available to everyone in the room. You’re clever enough to strike the right balance between hot and classy, aren’t you? Turn up the heat, but don’t invite the whole fire department.

I’ve got to the point now where I can poke some fun at my old image and really enjoy letting go when a juicy role comes along.

I couldn`t stand that my husband was being unfaithful. I am Raquel Welch – understand?

[on Mae West] I do think she was a spectacular talent. There’s no question she was a comedic genius, but I did, in person, actually feel like she was some kind of a dockworker in drag.

I was asked to come to Chicago because Chicago is one of our fifty-two states.

My body is the shape I live in and it shapes the way I live.

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

Cotton Owens was leading and daddy was second. They came up on me and I moved over to let them pass. Cotton went on, but daddy bumped me in the rear and my car went right into the wall.

Because I talk so much shit they give me overcredit just to shut me up!

I’m not sensitive, I give people things exactly the way they are, and if they’re ready to absorb it they will, and if they aren’t they won’t.

Someone once said that to make a regular person laugh, you need to dress a guy up like an old lady and push him down the stairs. To make a comedy writer laugh, you have to push a real old lady down the stairs. I don’t know who that’s attributed to. I think it’s Aristophanes. Or Catherine the Great.

At this time when I turn 50, because so there’s many of my friends and family who didn’t get to see 50-years-old, and so, I’m celebrating for them too.

The women’s movement hasn’t changed my sex life. It wouldn’t dare.

Wow, that is hard to watch. Hi, this is Ted Cruz, just calling to remind you to vote for a man who insulted my wife and said my dad helped kill JFK. Anyway, life has no meaning. Thank you. I want to die.

I can’t believe we’ve got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven’t done anything I think is that good yet.

[on Popeye] If you watch it backwards, it has a plot.

If The Beatles or the 60’s had a message, it was ‘Learn to swim. And once you’ve learned – swim!’

They’re talking about partial nuclear disarmament, which is also like talking about partial circumcision- you either go all the way or forget it.

Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else?

It’s nice having famous people love you.

I feel like everyone you mentioned owes an enormous debt to Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, because I think that started this trend of people having talkshows where they have a point of view that they’re not afraid to share.
