A Quote by Carol Channing

I've never understood the use of vulgar language, but the definition of 'risque' is open to interpretation. I suppose I did many things in my shows that could be considered risque... at the time... right up until my 90s.

I never wrote for children. I wrote with respect for the audience, which I've maintained all my life. Doesn't mean I couldn't be risque, but I did it smartly, without being vulgar.

Chespirito

I was always intrigued by the idea of bringing things together that are considered taboo or risque and bringing them together with something of high elegance and sophistication.

Suppose I could sing for a living - that I could stop these two jobs as a waitress and a salesperson.

Tim DeChristopher

Standup is just dirtier, a far more risque kind of thing.

Jennifer Coolidge
