I'm 81 and I'm in the prime of my life.

Los Angles is not my favorite city. Well, I shouldn't say that... I love to visit it, on a temporary basis. It's just such a company town! You can't go anywhere and not run into someone who wants to be in the business.

As you get older one tends to develop what I call a wobble. I would rather eat glass than let that happen to my voice.

I believe staying young at heart is all in one's personal attitude... you can't instill that in anyone.

I am a naturally buoyant person. I am a naturally energetic person... always have been. I have to say that it's important for everyone, but especially for women (given our bone density issues) to walk - even ambling for a couple of miles is better than not walking at all.

Is there a grandmother that isn't spunky on television? Is there such a creature?

I'm one of the most joyous people I've ever met.

I've always been a very sexual person. That doesn't mean I'm going around feeling my breasts and pressing myself against men, but I'm a sexual being.

You don't die if someone doesn't like you.

This is my idea of heaven, coming home and watching the news.

I'm an actress, and I am Latina.

I deliberately state my age because it keeps me honest. I think lying is a bad idea. Sooner or later, someone's going to catch you.

I'm so happy. I'm one of the happiest people I know. I truly am.

C'mon, we're actors. We love the attention. We love the applause. We sure don't like to be rejected.
