During press call ahead of Driving Miss Daisy's premiere in Perth she said the following:
Lansbury and Jones, at 87 and 82-years-old respectively, have no intentions of leaving the spotlight.
"After all, we are of an age, but we all have plans," Lansbury said.
"I'm not stopping. I have two plays in the future and James has one he's already learning the lines for.
"If you're an actor and you take care of yourself, you're going to keep going."
Each have their unique ways of surviving the stage; Jones calls himself a "vampire" while Lansbury says she's the "bionic woman".
"I think I'm a vampire," Jones said.
"I walk on the stage and get energy from the audience because they're so concentrated I have to concentrate as well."
Lansbury added: "We rest, we take a nap, we don't eat stupidly, we take care of the bods and that's very, very important when you get to a certain age.
"I'm the bionic woman; I've got knees, hips, everything is new and that has made a tremendous difference to me; replacements are high on my list of goodies."

One is a Broadway revival of The Chalk Garden that is supposed to open this fall. I wonder what is the other one and could it be a West End production instead of Broadway?
