I'm a very physical person. I like to run and I like to work out.

Fame overcomes everything.

I've been doing Pilates since 1974, I lift weights, I power walk every day and I run backwards. That's sometimes a little hard when you're not on your home turf, because you've got to find a place where there are no bumps in the way - or people.

I broke my ankle ten years ago so high heels are not an option unless I'm literally going door to door for a function.

I spend hours mowing the lawn in absolutely straight lines on my tractor. If it's not right, I do it again.

I would make a poor vegetarian because I adore meat.

I'd been a housewife and mother to our son Thomas Jefferson, and I was looking for a new career. So when my agent called and said a producer named Paul Elliott from E&B productions, the biggest panto company in the country at the time, wanted to meet me I agreed.
