Roman's wife Sharon Tate had been murdered by Charles Manson the year before, but Roman had been through so much leaving the Warsaw ghetto that he was very strong and private.

I don't want three million people digesting my private life over their cornflakes.

I am not going to share my private life with millions of people. I don't find a need to do that and nobody else close to me does either.

My mother was madly adventurous. My father was an actor - he worked with Gielgud - and my mother came from a very wealthy family. She definitely wasn't meant to marry an actor, but she eloped with him one lunch-time.

This was the ghetto: where children grow down instead of up.

Truly charismatic people, in my experience, don't come along very often.
