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.

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?

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

Where does it stop? You get offered money for your wedding, then for your kids, new houses, holidays... We earn enough from football and sponsorships, why do you need any more?

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

Because I was a tennis player, Billie Jean King was a hero of mine.
