I have to say that those nine years were full of turmoil and drama and trauma to me, in actual fact.

I think health is another exceedingly important thing.

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.

Doing 20 minutes of stretching, light weights and floor exercises three times a week takes the same amount of time as a long coffee break - and eating a tuna fish salad, sardines on toast or scrambled eggs is surely preferable to a Big Mac or KFC.

I was voted the most beautiful girl in the world in 1958, and courted by every young, available man in Los Angeles, most of whom I didn't go out with, by the way.

Life is not life unless you make mistakes

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