Rita Moreno

You know, we're very close.

You know, we're very close.

I mean, despite my being an impossible person and she being an impossible daughter. What can I say? We're both a pain in the ass. In our own special ways.

I don't work out at all. Get out of here. No way, Rita. Well, my knees are shot to pieces from all that dancing. I mean, West Side Story. No, the thing that really killed my knees was playing Norma Desmond. In Sunset Boulevard. Oh. And you know how she makes these incredible entrances down the steps? Yes. Well, in order to come down steps, you have to go up steps backstage, right?

And that almost killed me. That really ruined my knees. It's ruined many knees, many, many knees. So I don't do things that call for knee work, and that's almost everything. So I walk. I walk the dog, and I can't bend them very much. In fact, when and if I am asked to accept a wonderful award,

Which happens more now that I'm older and they're saying, quick, before she kicks the bucket, let's give her this award. Let's not be found wanting. So, I mean, they think I don't know these things. Anyway, I always have to say, am I going to go up steps to the stage to accept this award? Because if so, then I really need some help.

Oh, it's like 40 men came over. No, this is bullshit. No, I really, my knees hurt terribly when I go up steps. So my grandson, Justin, was the first one there. And I told him, I said, if there's steps, please come help me. But you still walk.

No, I try not to watch what I eat. Oh, my God, you're so funny. But no, I eat pretty much what I like. I am pre, what my doctor calls pre-diabetic. So I do have to be careful about sweets and stuff like that. But I've been that for... You know, years. And I'm still good. Good. So to hell with it. I'm just a lucky little bitch. Yeah, you are. You really are. I am. I am.

I was just born with fantastic genes. I have really good skin for someone who's, you know, 93 today.

Isn't that amazing?

My mom did. She did. You know, she had little skin cancer things, but I've never had a problem with my skin. It doesn't mean I don't have wrinkles. You just can't see them here.
