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.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

It's true - women want the fantasy. So give them romance - but without the desperation, wondering, and waiting you see in the movies.

It's hard to imagine anyone interested in film not being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock because he's such a key influence on the entire history of cinema - it's hard to escape his shadow.
