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.

I say, 'Use it or lose it.' I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot.

I was voted the most beautiful girl in the world in 1958, and courted by every young, available man in Los Angeles, most of whom I didn't go out with, by the way.

If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade.

I think health is another exceedingly important thing.

We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy hair? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines? Head to the beauty shop for a pot of the latest miracle skin stuff. It's all a beautiful ?1 billion con foisted upon insecure women by canny cosmetic conglomerates.

I've three children, three grandchildren, I work, I travel, and I'm very happily married. I'm very satisfied and happy with my life and there really isn't anything I want.

One of the main secrets to staying young is staying healthy. I've sometimes had to suppress a smile when some young lady, who has obviously not taken care of herself through diet or exercise, says admiringly, 'Ooh, I hope I look as good as you do when I'm your age!'

I've said no to 'Celebrity Big Brother,' 'Strictly,' and the American one, 'Dancing With The Stars.' I don't feel it's right for me. I've been asked to do reality TV a zillion times. No way. No way. Nobody's going to get into my living room and see me there.

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

I have always tried to live my life with enthusiasm and pleasure.

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

I've always maintained that there is a very fine line between a daring, sexy older woman and mutton dressed as lamb.

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

And then I wrote my first autobiography when I - well, it was 23 years ago. And since then I've written about one book every two years.
