If I look back I feel frightened, not happy, because my life is a bit of a mystery to me.

Really, the '70s and '80s were a blur.

I watched L'eclisse [1962] with Alain Delon and Monica Vitti. Changed my world. What a glamorous and modern film. This is what a genius is - the thing of a genius. The dresses, the tiny heels, the Cardin look, the boys dressed up as Italian gigolos - it was divine, very modern. [Michelangelo] Antonioni, I loved and I realized: how modern.

But it is hard to resist the feeling that 70th was some kind of golden age.

People walk differently in high heels. Your body sways to a different kind of tempo.

Everything is global now. It's not London, it's not Spain, it's not Italy - everything is everywhere. So you have to be everywhere, I guess.

When somebody wants to work and believes in something, it doesn't matter if you're well known or rich or whatever it is.
