Do you take any vitamins or supplements?
I usually have about 16 pills a day of various descriptions - I also have minerals from Salt Lake City and amino acids that get sent to me from Australia. I take all these things partly because I smoke. There is nothing wrong with my heart, though - I've had one of those things and it is perfectly all right.

Do you prefer healthy foods or fast food?
I never touch fast food. I eat very few carbs, too, because I am on the Hay diet.

How do you chill out?
Read and read and read. All I do is wait for people to leave, so I can read.

Do you smoke?
A lot, but seeing as I've smoked for 60 years, I can't be bothered to give up.

Do you drink?
Occasionally, though I am not a drunkard. If I'm with people, I have more.

What stresses you out?
EastEnders. Only joking. It's not just the acting, though. I get lots of letters, and I reply to them all personally. I think when you are older, you should be slowing down, but I wouldn't like not to work as I would get rather miserable.

Are you vain?
I suppose I was, but I don't have much to be vain about any more. Sometimes I look at my bags and think, "Maybe I should have them done", but I am a lazy person and I can't be bothered.
