I have always been attracted to the bleaker aspects of life. I love drama.
I have to watch out for being lazy.
I never saw myself as beautiful. I can look back and see it now, but then? Never.
I was anorexic in the 60s and 70s, although it wasn't called anorexia then. I thought people would be nicer to me if I looked very small and delicate, so food wasn't high on my agenda. But it is now.
I got my interest in Lotte Lenya and the Brecht-Weill canon from my parents. And I love classical music - I got that from my parents. I love Cole Porter - that I got from my dad.
