When I walk, I try to set a fairly brisk rate. I love walking outside. I hate machines like treadmills. The path that I have chosen to walk is just city streets, but you see pretty houses, trees... my routes have some hills in them; it's not just straight walking. You have to exercise your heart and lungs.

Is there a grandmother that isn't spunky on television? Is there such a creature?

I am a naturally buoyant person. I am a naturally energetic person... always have been. I have to say that it's important for everyone, but especially for women (given our bone density issues) to walk - even ambling for a couple of miles is better than not walking at all.

I'm 85, and I'm still a sexual being, or a sensual being.

Bigger than life is not difficult for me. I am bigger than life.

You don't die if someone doesn't like you.

I'm 81 and I'm in the prime of my life.
