I accredit animals for keeping me going when times were bad.
It's always a thrill to walk through a Broadway stage door.
I love stage actors. There's something special about all people who have to do a performance eight shows a week, and musical people, especially, are so much fun.
One of the greatest pleasures of working on shows is that I enjoy watching the actors - who are all younger than me now - and their careers. I love seeing how they're doing and seeing them getting good gigs and doing well.
I do have a mouth - I will say. I speak up when I see things I don't care for.
I've been lucky enough to play some funny, nasty ladies in my day, and if you can make them foolish, they're even funnier.
There is nothing more joyful to me than hearing a live audience laugh. Especially when I planned it that way!
As much as I love to dance, and I still take class, aerobics and that sort of thing, and I still move very well and all of that - I'm really not a dancer anymore.
