I think health is another exceedingly important thing.

I think it is shocking that 15- and 16-year-olds leave school unable to add up and with the reading ability of a four-year-old.

I think you always have to use certain parts of yourself in any role.

I think, Larry, one of the things is I'm a very active person.

I was a pin-up girl. I did it for 30 years and, quite frankly, it gets a bit boring.

I'm a bit shy, I suppose, and a bit lazy.

I've spent years when I've not been in the limelight at all and I'm perfectly happy living my life without being swooped on by paparazzi.

My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I'd have to work for everything.

Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.

The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.

The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.

Well I've written four beauty books as well.

When I was at school, I was terrible at algebra and arithmetic, but I was always the best at English and literature. And acting, of course.

Yes, I love playing cartoony characters. Been known for that.

And we have not found any generational gap at all. If he wants to go a football game, he goes. If I want to go to a fashion show, I go. We don't have to do everything together. But we like doing most things together.

Botox, I think, is poison, I would never put it into my face, and I'm needle-phobic. I spend a lot of time keeping my face out of the sun and taking care of my skin and wearing make-up.

And I think of that again as I've written in several of my beauty books, a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits, which are something that - you know, I come from a generation that wasn't - didn't have a lot of food.

And I used to write novels and little stories and compositions and I - but I put them away because I started acting when I was 17. So there wasn't much time.

But I have had to give up certain things in my life. One is shopping. Two is lunch with the girls. Three is cocktail parties, and four is studying my lines.

Gone are the days when a gentleman lightly took your hand in his and brushed his lips across it, or tipped his hat to acknowledge you as he chivalrously stepped aside to let you pass.
