Joan Rivers turned the big 8-0 this week and the funny lady is more active than ever.

The Fashion Police host joked about the best ways to stay fit: "Run to the bakery," she quipped in an exclusive sit-down interview with E! News.

"I never eat more than six donuts at the time. My dogs look just like me—we all waddle down the street, so awful."

On a more serious note, the comedian explains that cardio is an essential part of her daily routine.

"I walk everywhere," Rivers said. "I do every little thing I can to keep myself in motion. I have a trainer three times a week. I have [made her go] crazy. ‘Frances, how are you and the boyfriend. Let's talk about it. Put down the weight and tell me.' I try—we are meant to walk and move. In L.A. it makes me laugh that people get in their car, drive somewhere to walk. Whereas in NYC, they walk a lot more."

Beyond her physique, Rivers is still open about the plastic surgery she's had in the past and her feelings about surgical alterations now.

"I believe anything that can help you do it. If Botox can make you look better, do it. If you think you don't have a nice nose, fix it. Feel good about yourself. Any of these idiots that lie to you and say they have done nothing—out here they've all done something. Dieting is so difficult. Everything is tough. But [this] is a society – every society wants people to look good. Babies respond to a prettier face."

When we asked her if she would have another (as in another surgery), Rivers played coy.

"Another baby?" She responded. "The answer to both is yes. Yes, and I would also have another baby. Yes of course."
