Quote of the day

More people saw me than saw Napoleon, Lincoln and Cleopatra. I was better known than Einstein and Picasso. . . . I changed the fashion of two continents. The style of the Gay Nineties became the rage. . . women were trying to walk and talk like me. Women became more sex-conscious - sex was out in the open and fun.

My parents left Iran in 1979 and moved to France and then moved to the U. S. My brother was born in France and I was born in New York. I think my parents left France because they felt their kids would never be accepted by French culture. Here they thought we could feel American - that we could feel safe in that way - which was important to them, given what their experiences were in Iran. They used to joke about how I could be president because I was the only one born in America.

You know, it's dangerous, because you're running around and you're taking close swings at people with something that really could kill them. It's not like you have a gun with no bullets that you're doing cinematically. You actually have a weapon that you're swinging at people.
