I exercise every day. I don't get up and have a cup of coffee anymore, I get up and move to get blood to my brain.

I've grown up in the lap of the world.

I don't wait for inspiration. I get up and write every day.

I was the Kate Moss of my day, atypical of what the public wanted, which was Brigitte Bardot. I was always tall, skinny and angular. But now, society has bought 55 years of my marketing 'Carmen,' and I'm considered beautiful. I hope that empowers older women.

There's always a boyfriend. Whatever else I have to give up on, I won't give up on love.

Even with a computer, I can't get rid of all the papers in my life.
