A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at.

It is true that in this culture, they throw you out when you get older. I see it all the time, especially in my business. At my age, you're playing somebody's mother - and there aren't even a lot of those roles!

I would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.

I've always been lucky enough to have great audiences. It has been quite a life.

I have my standards. They're low, but I have them.

[On Princess Anne:] Such an active, outdoorsy lass. She loves nature in spite of what it did to her.

I do look upon all of life as an episode - which is why the people around me are probably on guard!
