I'm an actress, and I am Latina.

I grew up thinking I had very little value. It's not something I felt I could share with my mom so it was all inside me.

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

I deliberately state my age because it keeps me honest. I think lying is a bad idea. Sooner or later, someone's going to catch you.

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.

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

Los Angles is not my favorite city. Well, I shouldn't say that... I love to visit it, on a temporary basis. It's just such a company town! You can't go anywhere and not run into someone who wants to be in the business.
