Love Quote by Florence Henderson

There is a particular kind of glamour Florence Henderson is pointing to here, and it has nothing to do with red carpets. Live television is the glamour of risk: the adrenaline, the precision, the possibility of failure happening in public. When she says she "started in live television", she’s not just offering a resume line; she’s staking a claim to an older, tougher show-business pedigree, when performance wasn’t endlessly editable and charisma had to be immediate. That context matters: early TV was closer to theater than to the later, more industrialized studio system, and it prized nerves, timing, and a willingness to recover fast.

The repetition of "love" is doing quiet work. It’s not poetic, but it’s persuasive - a performer insisting that what she values most is not fame or comfort, but the feeling of being fully alive on camera. "Flying by the seat of my pants" is deliberately unpretentious, a folksy phrase that softens what is essentially a professional flex. She’s framing volatility as joy, not chaos; improvisation as craft, not accident.

Subtextually, it’s also a defense of a certain kind of performer: the reliable, quick-thinking pro who can make the machinery look effortless. Coming from an actress whose image was long tied to steadiness and warmth, the line reveals a private engine - she thrives not on control, but on the edge where control might slip.
