« En los años setenta, me asombraba que hablaran de mí como un símbolo sexual de los sesenta. Yo no era esa persona, como si fuera una muñeca del pasado. Tuve que aprender a aceptarlo. Es gracioso, y absurdo, lo ridículo que resulta haber exigido tanto a la fama. Luego se vuelve realmente interesante y forma parte de la emoción de la vida que vives ahora, sabiendo que te acercas a su final.
[''In the 1970s I was amazed to be talked about as a '60s sex symbol. I wasn't that person, as if I were a doll from the past. I had to learn to come to terms with that. It's funny, it's silly, the ridiculousness of having asked so much of celebrity. Then it becomes really interesting and very much part of the excitement of the life you’re living now, knowing you’re approaching the end of it]. »
