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

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

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

I'm an actress, and I am Latina.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.
