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.

I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday.

It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity.

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.
