Bruno Tonioli

I am down-to-earth and not one of those starry, up-their-own-butt celebrities.

When people feel threatened by you, they find something that is belittling.

My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.

Trying to rebuild Afghanistan on the cheap has left the country in the hands of warlords and an impotent Northern Alliance puppet regime that runs Kabul and nothing else.

I spend a lot of time on eBay buying vintage. I also really like Alexander Wang, Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, McQueen and Balmain.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
