Then, in 2000, John Reid, Elton John's former manager, asked me to audition for the stage version of The Graduate he was producing. So I worked on it, got the part, and after three weeks' rehearsal I was on stage!

I used to hang out with Salvador Dali a lot. He was such a nice man. I really liked his wife Gala, too. People say that she was tricky, but she was never difficult with me.

I have very old-fashioned tastes.

Well, I was fourteen in Texas. But I looked twenty-five.

I'd always enjoyed acting, but modeling was so time-consuming - and lucrative - that I didn't pursue it.

Mick Jagger and I just really liked each other a lot. We talked all night. We had the same views on nuclear disarmament.
