"Clean living, being loved," she revealed. "I have the best family in the whole wide world to grow up with. Great husband, two beautiful children, three granddaughters. So, it doesn't get better than that. It's all about love, all about family with me," she added.

"Lunch could be anything: if I’m out it could even be a hamburger or pizza. In the evening, we have chicken or fish. And fresh vegetables. I try to be healthy but, damn, it’s hard. I mean, I don't drink or smoke so can’t I have some cookies?"
