I'm with people all the time so I often go away on my own.

My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.

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

I'm not romantic at all. I'm a moaner. I should be on Grumpy Old Men. I'm terrible.

I've been in love with the cinema since childhood and it's a fantasy of mine to appear in a Hollywood movie.

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

I've done everything. I've sung, done records, plays... It just so happened my first professional job was as a dancer. I've done the whole shebang, darling. But dancing was my first professional engagement in 1974. I got paid for it, so that was it, my vocation. But my parents weren't keen. They wanted me to be an accountant in Italy. Or a lawyer. They were furious. I had to run away. I had to leave the country.
