Being a lady does not require silence.

I feel it's important to be active. People who retire, sit by their swimming pool and golf course and plan to relax have a very empty life.

When I say we've had an ideal marriage, I'm not just talking about physical attraction, which I can imagine can wear pretty thin if it's all a couple has built on. We've had that and a whole lot more.

That's what we're here on this Earth for, to help others.
