I got the boot once from Stanley Donen. The film was called The Little Prince.

I really have a generation gap about modern clothes.

I did a film called Dracula and it was very nice because I had lots of trips to New York on Concorde.

I was very young and lived with my grandparents in a villa with white walls in the Calle Ocharan, in Miraflores.

I don't thrive on control. I'm not looking for control. I think I get better results when I don't control things.
