“My parents’ lives were torn apart by WW2, surviving concentration camps, so I grew up listening to war stories not nursery rhymes. I realised how liberating being different is and I’ve always lived my life outside the predictable. I didn’t finish university. Instead, I travelled throughout Asia and Europe and became a DJ and played to packed dancefloors on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. In the 80s, I worked in an uber cool clothing store in Sydney called Gary Wolfs and sold my icon, David Bowie, a suit during his Serious Moonlight Tour. I still have his autograph. At my time of life it’s good to continue being different and show the world that you can be 60 and fabulous and not grow invisible.”
