As the years went on, the audience has become very jaded. They've heard every joke, they've seen every story line, they know where you're going before you even start to get there. And that's a hard audience to keep interested.

Kindness and consideration of somebody besides yourself. I think that keeps you feeling young. I really do.

Animals don't lie. Animals don't criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.

I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It's that simple.

I've always liked older men. They're just more attractive to me. Of course, at my age there aren't that many left!

I know unless I'm true to myself I couldn't be happy. Too much emphasis is placed today on externals and too little on character.

I'm not into animal rights. I'm only into animal welfare and health. I've been with the Morris Animal Foundation since the '70s. We're a health organization. We fund campaign health studies for dogs, cats, lizards and wildlife. I've worked with the L.A. Zoo for about the same length of time. I get my animal fixes!
