Roman's wife Sharon Tate had been murdered by Charles Manson the year before, but Roman had been through so much leaving the Warsaw ghetto that he was very strong and private.

I was seen dancing at school by a director, who asked me to be in a TV play. And it had a huge impact. So I think thats what really started me off.

I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.

Everything has changed. An interview has become such a confrontational thing. It makes you very defensive.

I've always kept fit but I've been doing gym and yoga and will be throwing my stilettoes away for a while!

I go on giving interviews because I've been brought up to support the projects I'm involved in. When you've enjoyed working on a production, you want to do them a favour.

I don't believe in expending energy on something you can't do anything about. If there was some easy way of fixing things, I'd probably do it.
