I'm a fiend for costume jewellery and have countless pairs of rhinestone or diamante earrings, which are so flattering when they catch the light. I love the designers Alexis Bittar and Kenneth Jay Lane, and I always go to jewellers Butler & Wilson.

If I hear the word 'retire,' it makes me want to throw up. And then do what? Sit around all day watching television?

I'm extremely happy in my life. I consider myself to be very blessed.

If I need to cheer myself up, I will put on some fabulous '40s musical on video. But I'm very lucky; I seldom get depressed. Without question, I'm a 'glass half full' person. In fact, it's three-quarters full!

I am a fan of marriage and a fan of being committed to the right person.

When I was 49, I posed for Playboy - I was very flattered to be asked. I was quite honoured, really, considering that most of the models they feature are in their twenties.

Basically, though, I believe in eating well, not eating too much but eating a variety of foods.
