My mother always used to say: 'The older you get, the better you get, unless you're a banana.'
My mother and dad were big animal lovers, too. I just don't know how I would have lived without animals around me. I'm fascinated by them - both domestic pets and the wild community. They just are the most interesting things in the world to me, and it's made such a difference in my lifetime.
A good friend of mine was Lucy Ball. Her mother and my mother were best friends.
