Nastassja Kinski

My parents found what I was interested in and encouraged me. They didn't put me in front of a television and buy lots of toys, the way some American parents do.

Having children is what a woman is born for, really.

But when it really happens I'm very fascinated, I'm waiting for the moment, because the moment where life abandons you and death steps in, that moment must be fantastic, no?

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
