When it came to the stylish and graceful art of ballroom dancing, my dad was a king of the clubs, a prowling tiger and a wonderfully natural mover.

I love reading. I'm very much into history, novels, biographies and I have a wide range of thrillers.

If I had a place with a studio where I could paint I'd be happy.

I like to read about subjects unrelated to my work, especially history.

I think a lot of people have a vision of L.A. in which TV executives and movie directors plan their latest productions by the swimming pool.

I love contemporary art, although I wouldn't want a pickled shark in my house.

It's horrible how money and fame can make you acceptable while, if you're not famous or rich, you're not acceptable.
